Carry It On
Hold your head up
Lift the top of your mind
Put your eyes on the Earth
Lift your heart to your own home planet
What do you see? What is your attitude?
Are you here to improve or damn it?
Look right now
And you will see we're only
Here by the skin of our teeth as it is
So take heart and take care of your link with life and
Oh, carry it on, we're saying
Oh, carry it on, keep playing
Oh, carry it on, and praying
Oh, carry it on
It ain't money that makes the world go round
That's only temporary confusion
It ain't governments that make the people strong
It's the opposite illusion
Look right now
And you will see they're only
Here by the skin of their teeth as it is
So take heart and take care of your link with life and
Oh carry it on, keep saying
Oh carry it on, and playing
Oh carry it on, and praying
Oh carry it on
Look right now
And you will see we're only
Here by the skin of our teeth as it is
So take heart and take care of your link with
Life is beautiful
If you got the sense to take care of your source of perfection
Mother Nature, she's the daughter of God
And the source of all protection
Look right now
And you will see she's only
Here by the skin of her teeth as it is
So take heart and take care of your link with life
Oh carry it on, keep saying
Oh carry it on, and playing
Oh carry it on, keep on praying
Oh carry it on, carry it on
Oh carry it on, keep saying
Oh carry it on, and playing
Oh carry it on, and praying
Oh, carry it on
