| To the boy who grew up with no father
|
| To the man who lost his first son
|
| To the soldiers defending our honor
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| To the driver they found on the pavement
|
| His brother still covered in blood
|
| To the doctor who’s trying to save them
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| And I believe in forgiveness
|
| I believe in peace
|
| And I think love is a privilege
|
| That everyone needs
|
| I don’t think it’s so outrageous
|
| I believe that love will save us
|
| To the bride who called off her wedding
|
| To the groom who was glad it was done
|
| To the gambler who raises his betting
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| To the teacher who doesn’t retire
|
| To the schoolboy who bought his first gun
|
| To the neighbor whose house is on fire
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| And I believe in forgiveness
|
| I believe in peace
|
| And I think love is a privilege
|
| That everyone needs
|
| I don’t think it’s so outrageous
|
| I believe that love will save us
|
| So on an infamous day in September
|
| When a plane took the place of the sun
|
| And it changed this whole city forever
|
| We carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| When you wake to a beautiful morning
|
| And then pray that the danger is gone
|
| When tragedy strikes without warning
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on
|
| And I believe in forgiveness
|
| I believe in peace
|
| And I think love is a privilege
|
| That everyone needs
|
| I don’t think it’s so outrageous
|
| I believe that love will save us
|
| To the boy who grew up with no father
|
| To the man who lost his first son
|
| To the soldiers defending our honor
|
| Carry on, carry on, carry on |
