Carry on, my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest

Don't you cry no more

Carry on

Well I woke up to the sound of silence
And cars are cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine

Your head in the curtains
And heart like the fourth of July


You swore and said
We are not
We are not shining stars

This I know
I never said we are


Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
To know you can never look back


If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends

At the corner of Vine
In the Hollywood sunshine
And we talked and talked

About how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives


But I'd like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on

But it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets

I am not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on


Cause here we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible

We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away

So we'll come
We will find our way home


If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on

May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
