[Verse 1]
I felt so broken
When I lost my faith one day
Like a pot knocked over, made out of clay
And it hurt so bad my chest locked up
The pain made me go into shock
It felt like losing someone I love
The fragile feathers taken from this dove

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, but I knew I must carry on
The pain will fade as I move along
In the hearts that are loyally strong
Faith will always flutter on

[Bridge]
Not by the blind submission to rulers and kings
But the bond we share, like two birds of a wing
We must learn to hover on
From all the careless damage that we've done

[Chorus]
Carry on
Live to sing another song
The rising sun
Is shining bright for everyone
Carry on
Live prosperous and long
[Verse 2]
One tends to wonder
What the future has in store
If the past won’t give out joy anymore
And I just keep faking every smile
I walk another pointless mile
I don't know when my sorrow will cease
For all I know it's just another piece

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but I know I must carry on
The pain will fade as I move along
In the hearts that are loyally strong
Faith will always…

[Chorus]
Carry on
Live to sing another song
The rising sun
Is shining bright for everyone
Carry on
Be the change you want to see
You’re only one
It all comes down to what you believe
Carry on
Be valiant and carry on
Live prosperous and long
