[Verse 1]
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 2]
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 3]
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
[Refrain]
Carry on, carry on, carry on

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head
For the world and its colours will be mine
Though 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
