momma i ve got two strong hands and they re fine as far as hands go i can shoulder the future i can face the wind for the dream that i must follow it s a dream that can kill with its beauty it s a hurt that can heal with its pain and with all of these miles that lie before me i may never get home again but i ll carry the songs i learned when we were kids i ll carry the scars of generations gone by i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on i ll carry on i kissed the earth on my daddy s grave said goodbye to my brave young companions but when they hoist that sail i know my heart will break as bright and as fine as the morning i don t know where this road will take me but they say there s a place there for a man and i m only afraid that my dreams may betray me and i ll never get home again but i ll carry the songs i learned when we were kids and i ll carry the scars of generations gone by i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on i ll carry on and oh i can shoulder the future i can brave the wind oh we go on we go on but we never get home again so i ll carry the songs i learned when we were kids i ll carry the scars of generations gone by i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on i ll carry on and i ll carry the songs i learned when we were kids i ll carry the scars of generations gone by i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on i ll carry the songs i learned when we were kids i ll carry the scars of generations gone by i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on i ll carry the songs i learned when we were kids i ll carry the scars of generations gone by i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on and i ll carry the songs and i ll carry the scars and i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on and i ll carry the songs and i ll carry the scars and i ll pray for you always and i promise you this i ll carry on i ll carry on
