In younger days I told myself
My life would be my own
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my life's too short for waiting
When I see the rising sun
Then I know again
That I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow
There's no reason to look back
Carry on
Beyond the shadows of the clouds
And onward to the sky
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
For my life's too short for waiting
When I see the rising sun
Then I know again
That I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow
There's no reason to look back
Carry on
Drifting on the wings of freedom
Leave this stormy day
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden field
For my life's too short for waiting
When I see the rising sun
Then I know again
That I must carry on
Carry on
And when the heavy journey's done
I'll rest my weary head
For the world and all its colors will be mine
For my life's too short for waiting
When I see the rising sun
Then I know again
That I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow
There's no reason to look back
Carry on
Carry on
