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
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
Carry on
Carry on
What don`t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
You`re never gonna get nowhere by running scared
If you look down deep inside you`ll find the faith to make you strong
Oh carry on
I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Don`t let no shadows tangle up my feet
There ain`t no troubles that we can`t rise above
With a handful of faith and a heartful of love
Carry on
Carry on
What don`t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on
What don`t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
