Carry On

In a world that turns so quickly, Where the truth is hard to find, Where a mother holds her heartbeat Like a flag against the night. She stands steady through the shadows, With a courage time can't break. Every tear she ever swallowed, Built a new one she now made.   And she whispers to her child, Don't you bow to anyone. We were born from those who rose The one’s they never chose When the world says we're done.   Carry on… When they say you don't belong. Carry on… When they forget your name, stay strong. Carry on… We are the heartbeat of a people still alive And we rise, we won’t be denied Carry on.         There's a mother teaching courage, There's a father holding ground, And a child who grows in wonder At the strength that's handed down. Through the noise and all the chaos, The lies they try to spin, There's a fire in their story, Every loss became a win.   And she whispers to her child, Don't you bow to anyone, We were born from those who rose The one’s they never chose, When the world says we're done.   Carry on… When they say you don't belong. Carry on… When they forget your name, stay strong. Carry on… We are the heartbeat that's still alive We rise, we won’t be denied Carry on.       Maybe the world doesn't believe, We have a right to breathe a dream, We are a living history, We are the ones who still believe. And every voice and every heart, Every generation's call. Says we were built to stand again.   And she whispers to her child, Don't you bow to anyone We were born from those who rose The one’s they never chose, When the world says we're done.   Carry on… When they say you don't belong. Carry on… When they forget your name, stay strong. Carry on… We are the heartbeat that's still alive We rise, we won’t be denied Carry on.
