Lyrics

Carry On

Tug of war, back and forth All regard goes out the door Set your sights on goals and awards Become obsessed and watch success unfold Decrease the morals, increase the funds Don't be too preachy if you wanna be loved Forget conviction, just have some fun Mindless words can take you to number one Say I'm selfish, say I've changed Say I abandoned what I set out to be Say I'm different now, say I'm lost But I'll stay true no matter what the cost I'll stand and fight for what I love and know is right I'll carry on (I'll carry on) I'll carry on (until my days are gone) You can try to turn me into something I am not But I'll stay strong (I will stay strong) I'll carry on until my days are gone (carry on) Careful what you say They don't need to know what you believe God forbid, I stand for something God forbid, I stand alone God forbid, I tell my story God forbid, it offers hope Sell your soul for platinum Deny the truth for gold You can be the next big thing If you turn your back on what you know I'll stand and fight for what I love and know is right I'll carry on (I'll carry on) I'll carry on until my days are gone You can try to turn me into something I am not But I'll stay strong (I will stay strong) I'll carry on until my days are gone (carry on) I will never be like you I'm not a puppet on a string I'm not one of your machines I'm not doing this for you I'm not doing this for me It's bigger than what you choose to see I'll stand and fight for what I love and know is right I will carry on (I'll carry on) Until my days are gone (until my days are gone) They try to turn me into something I am not But I will carry on I will carry on until my days are gone
