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 tomorow, 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 on





Carry on till tomorow, 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 fields (we'll ride tomorrow's golden fields)



For my life's too short for waiting (a life's too short for waiting)



When I see the rising sun (see the rising sun)



Then I know again that I must carry on





Carry on, carry on, carry on





[guitar solo]





And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head



For the world and it's colours 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 on





Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back



Carry on, carry on, carry on





[guitar solo]





Carry on



Carry on



Carry on



Carry on



Carry on



Carry on...
