And

past.

Though you k

one,
For e

verything that mat

Carry

You remember when you felt each person mattered,
That we all had to care, or all was lost.
But now you see believers turned to cynics,
And you wonder was the struggle worth the cost.
And you see someone too young to know the difference,
And the veil of isolation in their eyes.
And inside you know you've got to leave them something,
Or the hope for something better slowly dies.
Carry on my sweet survivor,
Carry on my lonely friend.
Don't give up on the dream,
And don't you let it end.
Carry on my sweet survivor,
Though you know that something's gone,
For everything that matters,
Carry
Em
on.
Carry on my sweet survivor,
You've carried it so long,
So it may come again,
Carry on.
Carry on, carry on.
