Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away But if Mama was here I know what Mama would say Chorus Carry on Carry on What don't kill us makes us strong Carry on Little sister's husband ran off with her best friend Left her and the babies all alone again It hurts to know the hurt that she's going through But I know that she'll do what she's gotta do Chorus Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair You're never gonna get nowhere by runnin' scared If you look down deep inside you'll find the faith to make you strong Oh oh carry on INSTRUMENTAL I try to walk the sunny side of the street Don't let no shadows tangle up my dreams There ain't no troubles that we can't rise above With a hand full of faith and a heart full of love Chorus Carry on What don't kill us makes us strong Umm Hmm Carry on Carry on Carry on Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Umm Hmm Carry on
