Carry On

Hello, hello people of the internet
Check, check, check one, check two
People of the internet
Alright, so

What's happening, peoples
This song has minor chords in it
Which is kind of different for me
Because I like major chords

Because major chords are happy chords
Ooh, B flat major
Throw that in there
But this song was written when COVID started

As the world stopped
And for the first time in my lifetime
In my parents' lifetime
Musicians were out of work

And God knows my life would be very different
If music was not a part of it
So here it is. Carry on
I did my best, forget the rest

We blame it all on thoughts and feelings
Lose control out of the fold
You find yourself deep in the mold
Of deeper thoughts and endless props

That give illusion of false healings
Knowing I may never sing again
But don't pity me, I have my pieces
Fortified within my dreams

A foolish man would trade a soul
For silver and for gold
Lord, use me now just like you did
Way back then, so in the end

I can sing along with all my friends
I want to sing along with all my friends
We carry on through the winter times
Knowing life comes when the belt of spring has rung

Carry on through these hard-earned times
Knowing life comes when the cold weather's gone
When it's gone
I found myself caught on the bottom

Struggling to see and breathe
I know I should have spent so much more time
Up on my knees
Lord, hear me now, I know my voice

Amidst the chaos and the noise
Lord, lift us up and let us sing again
Lord, lift us up and let us sing again
We carry on through the winter times

Knowing life comes when the belt of spring has rung
Carry on through these hard-earned times
Knowing life comes when the cold weather's gone
Carry on through the summertime

Knowing life comes when we all carry along
Move along all this darkness now
Knowing life comes when we all start to get along
Thank y'all

Thank y'all so much
Snap your fingers and do your step
You can do it all by yourself
