Rich mullins ill carry on lyrics

Momma, I've got two strong hands. 

And they're fine as far as hands go 

I can shoulder the future, I can face the wind 

For the dream that I must follow 

It's a dream that can kill with its beauty 

It's a hurt that can heal with its pain 

And with all of these miles that lie before me 

I may never get home again 



But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids 

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by 

I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this 

I'll carry on, I'll carry on 



I kissed the earth on my daddy's grave 

Said goodbye to my brave young companions 

But when they hoist that sail I know my heart will break 

As bright and as fine as the morning 

I don't know where this road will take me 

But they say there's a place there for a man 

And I'm only afraid that my dreams may betray me 

And I'll never get home again 



But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids 

And I'll carry the scars of generations gone by 

I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this 

I'll carry on, I'll carry on 



And oh, I can shoulder the future, I can brave the wind 

Oh, we go on, we go on, but we never get home again 



So I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids 

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by 

I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this 

I'll carry on, I'll carry on 



And I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids 

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by 

I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this 

I'll carry on (I'll carry on) 



I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids 

I'll carry the scars of generations gone by -acap
