Through the essence of your smile 

Makes this fight all worth while 

Oh' the perseverance of your life 



There you were by my side 

Giving me strength through your love and pride 

She says carry on, carry on 



Oh the stars they shine so bright 

Are they there for you and I' 

I know you'll see the light 



Carry on, be strong my son 

This is the end of innocence 

Carry on, when I'm gone 

This is the end of innocence 

This is the end my friend 



Sacrifice is all we have 

Finding solace in your laugh 

The freedom will ease your pain 



Washing tides and seasons change 

Things will never be the same 

Oh' she says carry on, carry on 



Carry on, be strong my son 

This is the end of innocence 

Carry on, when I'm gone 

This is the end of innocence 

This is the end
