Lyrics
[verse]
Woke up to the sound of an empty room,
Everything I thought I had swept away too soon,
But something in my chest still refuses to break,
There's a fire left burning for tomorrow's sake.
[verse]
I've been carrying weight I never chose to bear,
But I'm still standing here, still breathing air,
The brass is calling like a marching band inside,
Telling me to lift my head and open my eyes.
[chorus]
So we'll carry on, carry on, carry on,
Even when the whole damn world says we're gone,
We'll carry on, carry on, carry on,
Singing every lyric like it's our swan song.
[verse]
There's a light in every ending if you look close enough,
The hardest roads make the softest kind of tough,
I've got a hundred reasons to lay down and quit,
But I'd rather stand and fight than settle for less than this.
[chorus]
So we'll carry on, carry on, carry on,
Even when the whole damn world says we're gone,
We'll carry on, carry on, carry on,
Singing every lyric like it's our swan song.
[bridge]
(instrumental — brass section swelling, celebratory energy)
[chorus]
So we'll carry on, carry on, carry on,
Even when the whole damn world says we're gone,
We'll carry on, carry on, carry on,
Singing every lyric like it's our swan song.
