Carry It On

There’s a man by my side walkin’
There’s a voice inside me talkin’
There’s a word needs a-sayin’
Carry it on, carry it on

They will tell their lyin’ stories
Send their dogs to bite our bodies
They will lock us in their prisons
Carry it on, carry it on

All their lies will be soon forgotten
All their dogs are gonna lie there rottin’
All their prison walls will crumble
Carry it on, carry it on

If you can’t go on any longer
Take the hand of your sister & brother
Every victory’s gonna bring another!
Carry it on, carry it on

For the dream never-ending
You can hear the voices blending
Loud & clear, their echoes sending
Carry it on, carry it on

Thru the air the song is winging
Down the years, hope keeps springing
No more tears! We’re still singing
Carry it on, carry it on

--Gil Turner, 1964
