Carry it On

Words and music by Gil Turner (new verses by Marion Wade)
Rise Up Singing chapter: Peace, p.158

There's a man by my side walking
There's a voice inside me talking
There's a word that needs a-saying
(Chorus) Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on

They will tell their lying stories
Send their dogs to bite our bodies
They will lock us in their prisons
Carry it on, carry it on (2x)

All their lies be soon forgotten
All their dogs are gonna lie there rotting
All their prison walls will crumble
Carry it on, carry it on (2x)

If you can't go on any longer
Take the hand of your sister and your brother
Every victory's gonna bring another
Carry it on, carry it on (2x)

New verses by Marion Wade:

For the dream never ending
You can hear the voices blending
Loud and clear, their echoes sending
Carry it on, carry it on (2x)

Through the air the song is winging
Down the years, hope keeps springing
No more tears, we're still singing
Carry it on, carry it on (2x)
