In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow, there's 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 rainbow's end
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry onCarry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry onDrifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry onCarry on, carry on, carry onAnd when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head
For the world and it's colors will be mine
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun
Then I know again that I must carry onCarry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
