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
Have gone into 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 on.
Carry on till tomorrow
There's no reason to look back
Carry on (carry on - carry on).
Drifting on the wings of freedom
Leave this stormy day
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden field
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 (carry on - carry on).
And when the heavy journey's done
I'll rest my weary head
For the world and its colours will be mine
Though my life's too short for waiting
When I see the setting 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).
(Carry on, carry on, carry on ...)
