CARRY IT ON
(Gil Turner)

There's a man by my side a-walkin'
There's a voice inside me a-talkin'
There's a word needs a-sayin'
Carry it on, carry it on,
Carry it on, carry it on.

They will tell their lyin' stories
Send their dogs to bite our bodies
They will lock us in their prison
Carry it on, carry it on,
Carry it on, carry it on.

All their lies be soon forgotten
All their dogs - dogs are gonna lie there rottin'
All their prison walls will crumble
Carry it on, carry it on,
Carry it on, carry it on.

If you can't - can't go on any longer
Take the hand - hand held by your brother
Every victory gonna bring another
Carry it on, carry it on,
Carry it on, carry it on.
