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 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 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
