Carry On

When the pressures of life bring on sadness
And you're lonely and feeling withdrawn
And your life doesn't seem like it's worth it
Well believe me it is, carry on

We are each given life for a reason
It's a God given gift from beyond
The choice is not ours, when it's over
So don't ever give up, carry on

If you think giving up is the answer
And the pain and frustrations too strong
Believe me my friend, you have the strenght from within
Just pick yourself up, carry on

There were times in my life filled with heartache
Nights so dark, never thought  I'd see  dawn
Then a  voice from within said don't ever give in
Better days days are ahead, carry on

When my time here on Earth is completed 
And the breath in my body is gone
Then I'll lay down and rest for the last time
But until then I'll just carry on
