"Momma I've got two strong hands.

And they're fine as far as hands go

I can shoulder the future I can face the wind

For the dream that I must follow

It's a dream that can kill with its beauty

It's a hurt that can heal with its pain

And with all of these miles that lie before me

I may never get home again

But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by

I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this

I'll carry on ~ I'll carry on

I kissed the earth on my daddy's grave

Said goodbye to my brave young companions

But when they hoist that sail I know my heart will break

As bright and as fine as the morning

I don't know where this road will take me

But they say there's a place there for a man

And I'm only afraid that my dreams may betray me

And I'll never get home again

But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids

And I'll carry the scars of generations gone by

I'll pray for you always and I promise you this

I'll carry on ~ I'll carry on

And oh, I can shoulder the future I can brave the wind

Oh we go on ~ we go on but we never get home again

So I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by

I'll pray for you always and I promise you this

I'll carry on ~ I'll carry on

And I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by

I'll pray for you always and I promise you this

I'll carry on (I'll carry on)

I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by

I'll pray for you always and I promise you this (promise you this)

I'll carry on (I'll carry on)

I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by

I'll pray for you always and I promise you this

I'll carry on

And I'll carry the songs (carry the songs)

And I'll carry the scars (carry the scars)

And I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this

I'll carry on

And I'll carry the songs (carry the songs)

And I'll carry the scars (carry the scars)

And I'll pray for you always and I promise you this

I'll carry on ~ I'll carry on"
