Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away
But if Mama was here I know what Mama would say
Chorus
Carry on
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Little sister's husband ran off with her best friend
Left her and the babies all alone again
It hurts to know the hurt that she's going through
But I know that she'll do what she's gotta do
Chorus
Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
You're never gonna get nowhere by runnin' scared
If you look down deep inside you'll find the faith to make you strong
Oh oh carry on
INSTRUMENTAL
I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Don't let no shadows tangle up my dreams
There ain't no troubles that we can't rise above
With a hand full of faith and a heart full of love
Chorus
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Umm Hmm
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Umm Hmm
Carry on
