Lyrics

Carry On

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You can laugh at the things that I want

You can say that my dreams won't come true

But you know that I know what I want

The strength that it takes to follow through

This desire that is burning in me

Is a fire that is a out of control

And you know that I know what I mean

My heart has been broken over and over

Over and over so many times

I will make my mistakes

Take my heart aches

Do what it takes to get along

I will lay down my pride

Tears I can't hide

I've made up my mind to carry on

Carry on

If you discover

carry on

If dark clouds hover

carry on

When there's no other place to go

carry on

If you should stumble

carry on

If dreams should crumble

carry on

Till you find your way back home

Oh I lay down where I could feel

All the wind and the grass in my soul

And I'll stare at the clouds over head

Cause I've been disappointed over and over

Over and over so many times

That I will make my mistakes

Take my heartaches

Do what it takes to get along

I will lay down my pride

Tears I can't hide

I've made up my mind to carry on

Carry on

If you discover

carry on

If dark clouds hover

carry on

When there's no other place to go

carry on

If you should stumble

carry on

If your dreams crumble

carry on

Till you find you're not alone

Carry on

carry on

carry on
