Carry on! Carry on!
Things never were looming so black.
But show that you haven't a cowardly streak, And though you're unlucky you never are weak. Carry on! Carry on!
Brace up for another attack.
It's looking like hell, but
Carry on, old man! Carry on!
There are some who drift out in the deserts of doubt,
And some who in brutishness wallow;
There are others, I know, who in piety go
Because of a Heaven to follow.
But to labor with zest, and to give of your best,
For the sweetness and joy of the giving;
To help folks along with a hand and a song; Why, there's the real sunshine of living.
Carry on! Carry on!
Fight the good fight and true;
Believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer; There's big work to do, and that's why you are here. Carry on! Carry on!
Let the world be the better for you;
And at last when you die, let this be your cry: Carry on, my soul! Carry on!
