In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
And Id leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my lifes too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow, theres no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
Carry on till I find the rainbows end
For my lifes too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow, theres no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
And well ride to tomorrows golden fields
For my lifes too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
And when the heavy journeys done, Ill rest my weary head
For the world and its colors will be mine
For my lifes too short for waiting when I see the setting sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow, theres no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
