Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup.
Now all he want to do is drink the hurt all away.
If Mama was here, I know what Mama would say.
Chorus
Carry on, Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Verse 2
Little sister's husband ran off with her best friend
Left her and the babies all alone again
It hurts to know the hurt that she's going through
I know that she'll do what she's got to do
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Nobody ever said that life was going to be fair
You're never gonna get nowhere by running scared
If you look down deep inside you'll find
The faith that makes you strong, Carry on
Instrumental Play chords as in chorus
Verse 3
I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Don't let no shadows tangle up my feet
There ain't no troubles that we can't rise above
With a hand full of faith and a heart full of love
Repeat Chorus
Outro:
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Carry on
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup.
