We Carry On

He hasn't seen a drop of rain for months, it seems
 Rollin' river is nothing, but a tricklin' stream
 The crops are dyin' in the harsh sunlight
 The dust on his tongue is dry
 The fatted calf is down to skin and bones
 We carry on
 ♪
 Alone in the city and she's only seventeen
 The boy left her black and blue on the streets, so mean
 Just twelve weeks along and she's got a life inside
 Said she's never ever felt so alone
 She walks in the shelter, they say "Welcome home"
 And we carry on
 When our lives come undone, we carry on
 'Cause there's promise in the morning sun, we carry on
 As the dark surrenders to the dawn
 We were born to overcome
 We carry on
 Beyond the picket fences and the oil wells
 The happy endings and the fairy tales
 Is the reality of shattered lives and broken dreams
 We carry on
 Carry on (carry on)
 ♪
 It's the family that grieves for a lost loved one
 It's the soldier who won't leave 'til the job is done
 It's the addict trying to turn his life around
 It's pickin' yourself up off the ground when you've been knocked down
 We carry on
 When our lives come undone, we carry on
 'Cause there's promise in the morning sun, we carry on
 As the dark surrenders to the dawn
 We were born to overcome
 We carry on
 When our lives come undone, we carry on
 'Cause there's promise in the morning sun, we carry on
 As the dark surrenders to the dawn
 We were born to overcome
 We carry on
 Carry on (we carry on)

 He stands in the field, cooled by the winds of change
 She smiles as her baby moves, and it starts to rain
