Whatever the words that you hear
somehow the meaning is clear
we're all on the same ship together
moving on
from the first time that life could be heard
to the last sounds of men on this earth
the question is always the same
where are we going? where are we going?
carry on, carry on
there's a silver light beside you
take the hand that's there to guide you
through this night
to where we came from
carry on, carry on
when the autumn leaves are fallin
and you hear the voices callin you
away they do not fear you
carry on
love is the daughter of life
and comfort to trouble and strife
she's always beside you to help you
to carry on
oh they say that the stars in the sky
are the souls of the people who die
will we meet them again when we reach
our destination
carry on, carry on
there's a silver light beside you
take the hand that's there to guide you
through this night
to where we came from
carry on, carry on
when the autumn leaves are fallin
and you hear the voices callin you
away they do not fear you
carry on
carry on, carry on, carry on
carry on
