He hasn't seen a drop of rain for

months it seems

The roll n river is nothing but a

tricklin stream

The crops are dyin in the harsh sun light

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

Says she never ever felt so alone

She walks in the shelter, they say

welcome home

CHOURUS:

And we carry on, when our lives come undone

We carry on, 'cause there's promise in the mornin' 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...

It's the family that grieves for a lost

loved one

Its the soldier who wont leave 'til the

job is done

its the addict trying to turn his life around

its pickin' yourself up off the ground

when you've been knocked down

repeat chourus 2x

We carry on

Carry on...

He stands in the field, cooled by

the winds of change

she smiles as her baby moves and it starts to rain
