He was born on Sunday morning
To carry on, carry on
It was like a ray of sunshine
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
And I looked at him and smiled
When I realized this child had come into the world
To carry on
Carry on
La, la, la, la, la
Mmmmmmmmmm
Well, soon his eyes were open
Oh, so wide
Very wide
And with just one look
I knew that God was on his side
And as he grew
I gave him all the love I had inside
And I hoped that he would use it
As his guide
As his guide
And I know they'll always be somebody watching over you
And your mama may have
And your papa may have
But I know you've got it too
He said, "Mama, don't you worry
I've got love in my heart
And you know it's always with me from the start
From the start
And I know there'll always be somebody watching over me"
And my mama may have
And my papa may have
And I got what it takes to be free
He said, "Mama, don't you worry
I've had love since I was born
And I've come into the world
To carry on
Carry on
I've come into the world to carry on"
