I'll Carry On Songtext
von Rich Mullins

"Momma I′ve got two strong hands.
And they're fine as far as hands go
I can shoulder the future I can face the wind
For the dream that I must follow
It′s a dream that can kill with its beauty
It's a hurt that can heal with its pain
And with all of these miles that lie before me
I may never get home again

But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I′ll carry the scars of generations gone by
I′ll pray for you always, and I promise you this
I'll carry on ~ I′ll carry on


I kissed the earth on my daddy's grave
Said goodbye to my brave young companions
But when they hoist that sail I know my heart will break
As bright and as fine as the morning
I don′t know where this road will take me
But they say there's a place there for a man
And I′m only afraid that my dreams may betray me
And I'll never get home again

But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
And I′ll carry the scars of generations gone by
I′ll pray for you always and I promise you this
I'll carry on ~ I′ll carry on

And oh, I can shoulder the future I can brave the wind
Oh we go on ~ we go on but we never get home again

So I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I′ll carry the scars of generations gone by
I'll pray for you always and I promise you this
I′ll carry on ~ I'll carry on

And I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I′ll carry the scars of generations gone by
I′ll pray for you always and I promise you this
I'll carry on (I′ll carry on)

I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I′ll carry the scars of generations gone by
I'll pray for you always and I promise you this (promise you this)
I′ll carry on (I'll carry on)


I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I′ll carry the scars of generations gone by
I′ll pray for you always and I promise you this
I'll carry on

And I′ll carry the songs (carry the songs)
And I'll carry the scars (carry the scars)
And I′ll pray for you always, and I promise you this
I'll carry on

And I′ll carry the songs (carry the songs)
And I'll carry the scars (carry the scars)
And I'll pray for you always and I promise you this
I′ll carry on ~ I′ll carry on"
