We Carry On - Tim McGraw

He hasn’t seen a drop of rain for months it seems

Rollin’river is nothing but a trickling stream

The crops are dying in the harsh sunlight

The 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 in the street so mean

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

Says she’s 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 morning 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 It’s the family that grieves for a lost loved one

It’s the soldier who won’t leave til the job is done

It’s the addict trying to turn his life around

It’s picking yourself off the ground when you’ve been knocked down

And we carry on When our lives come undone

We carry on Cause there’s promise in the morning 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 morning sun

We carry on As the dark surrenders to the dawn

We were born to overcome

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
