Intro

Verse

 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

Chorus

 Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back

 Carry on, carry on, carry on

Verse

 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

Chorus

 Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back

 Carry on, carry on, carry on

Verse

Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day

 And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields

 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, carry on, carry on

Solo

Verse

 And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head

 For the world and its colours will be mine

 For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun

 Then I know again that I must carry on

Chorus

 Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back

 Carry on, carry on, carry on
