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 the way

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 goin' 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 no where by runnin' scared

If you look down deep inside you'll find the faith

To make you strong oh carry on

I tried 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 hand full of faith and a heart full 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
