She was a mother
And a father too
‘Cause Daddy departed
When I was but two
So she made her name
By her industry
And labor of love
Was her history
I remember her
Saying this piece
"Carry on, carry on
Don't give up,
Trust in God
And you'll see
The handsome plan
He readied for
You and me
Just carry on"
(Carry on)
I remember the day
I lost that game
And when I have received
Not well-suited grade
Same way the dream job
Never really came
I thought ‘sorry future'
Would be my name
I remember her
Saying this piece
"Carry on, carry on
Don't give up,
Trust in God
And you'll see
The handsome plan
He readied for
You and me
Just carry on"
(Carry on)
Doctor had called me
To go in her room
She was asking for me
And my little croon
Her kiss to her grandchild
Seemed to make her strong
Then she said, "I had
A good life all along."
I remember her
Whisper this piece
"Carry on, carry on
Don't give up,
Trust in God
And you'll see
The handsome plan
He readied for
You and me
Before she took
Long needed sleep
I kissed her and
Whispered this piece
"I'll carry on,
Carry on
I won't give up,
And I will trust in God
‘Cause I've seen
The handsome plan
He has paved way for me
I have you as my Mom
And I thank God
You're my Mom"
