He hasn't seen a drop of rain for months it seems
Rollin river is nothing but a tricklin' stream

The crops are dyin' in the harsh sun light

Dust on his tongue is dry

The fatted calf is down to skin and bones, we carry on

Alone in the city and she's only seventeen

The boy left her black and blue on the streets so mean

Just twelve weeks along and she's got a life inside

Says shes' never ever felt so alone

She walks in the shelter, they say welcome home

And we carry on when our lives come undone
We carry on 'cause there's promise in the mornin' sun
We carry on as the dark surrenders to the dawn

We were born to overcome, we carry on

Beyond the picket fences and the oil wells

The happy endings and the fairy tales
Is the reality of shattered lives and
Broken dreams, we carry on, carry on

It's the family that grieves for a lost loved one

It's the soldier who wont leave 'til the job is done

It's the addict trying to turn his life around

It's pickin' yourself up off the ground

When you've been knocked down
We carry on when our lives come undone
We carry on 'cause there's promise in the mornin' sun
We carry on as the dark surrenders to the dawn

We were born to overcome

We carry on when our lives come undone

We carry on 'cause there's promise in the mornin' sun
We carry on as the dark surrenders to the dawn

We were born to overcome,

we carry on, carry on, we carry on

He stands in the field, cooled by the winds of change

She smiles as her baby moves and it starts to rain
