Carry On

Chris De Burgh · Crusader [1979]

Whatever the words that you hear

somehow the meaning is clear

we're all on the same ship together

moving on



from the first time that life could be heard

to the last sounds of men on this earth

the question is always the same

where are we going? where are we going?



carry on, carry on

there's a silver light beside you

take the hand that's there to guide you

through this night

to where we came from



carry on, carry on

when the autumn leaves are fallin

and you hear the voices callin you

away they do not fear you

carry on



love is the daughter of life

and comfort to trouble and strife

she's always beside you to help you

to carry on



oh they say that the stars in the sky

are the souls of the people who die

will we meet them again when we reach

our destination



carry on, carry on

there's a silver light beside you

take the hand that's there to guide you

through this night

to where we came from



carry on, carry on

when the autumn leaves are fallin

and you hear the voices callin you

away they do not fear you

carry on



carry on, carry on, carry on



carry on
