Just Carry On

I look back on a yesterday
when the sidelines were a blur,
upon erred paths my feet did stray
over right roads my soul deters,4

I lie on the dirty sidewalk
drugged by life's deepest love,
the rhythm of my heart beat stalks,
the very shadows of my beloved,5

singing hymns that are bitter-sweet
tastes tangy as the trusts I cheat,
oh mama, I remember those days,
when the sun seemed unending
and laughter always swayed,6

but now the road to home -7

lies dusty.8

I'm gonna carry on, just carry on,
I'm gonna carry on, just carry on,
no matter what they say or do
no matter if you're with me or not,
it makes no difference;
I'm just gonna carry on and on.11

I shed no stifled tears today
nor hold them inside for another day,
I just carry on in wake of vain
just as the pain that comes and wanes.12

13


My steps erred upon the cross-roads
I never knew what was right and wrong,
just nine years old when off I rode
never knowing where I belong, 14

Ohhhh mama, you just left me lying,
by the silence of your side,
and I just lay there crying,
with eyes white with tears,15

and now I've shed,16

more then just your love.17

I'm gonna carry on, just carry on,
I'm gonna carry on, just carry on,
no matter what they say or do
no matter if you're with me or not,
it makes no difference;
I'm just gonna carry on and on.21


I'm gonna carry on, just carry on,
I'm gonna carry on, just carry on,
no matter what they say or do
no matter if you're with me or not,
it makes no difference;
I'm just gonna carry on and on.22

I wish I could show you the scars
make you believe my love is there,
I wish I could let you know at last,
the trust you knew is still here.23

25

Ohhh mama, just remember in your peace,
my love for you will never cease,
I may be gone today
but tomorrow is another day,26

so just hear me whisper now,27

I'm gonna carry on -
just carry on.28

    I enjoyed reading this tremendously and think that, for a first song, this is like....better than some people who've been writing songs forever. Well done. I enjoyed this very much. Has a wonderful feel to it.

    You never fail to impress upon me the vastness of your talented pen! This was quite good for a first song...and delves colorfully into the chasms of emotion echoing from a young boy's heart.

    An enjoyable read. Now if only I could HEAR IT SOMEDAY!!!
