"Carry On" lyrics

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, no"
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
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, no, no"
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, no, no"
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
