When I was young, I told myself my life was to be free



And I'd leave this place where sun had 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)





Beneath the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sea



There I'll be 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





So hoist the sail, cast off the lines and leave this stormy day



And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields



As a life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun



Then I know again that I must carry on (carry on)





When the empty journey's gone, I'll rest my weary head



For the world and its colours will be mine



As a 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



Carry on, carry on, carry on



Carry on, carry on, carry on



Carry on, carry on, carry on



Carry on, carry on, carry on



Carry on, carry on
