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
