Whatever the words that you hear
Somehow the meaning is clear
We're all on the same ship together, moving on

From the first time that life could be heard
To the last sounds of men on this earth
The question is always the same
Where are we going, where are we going?

Love is the daughter of life 
Comfort to trouble and strife
She's always beside you to help you carry on
Oh, they say that the stars in the sky
Are the souls of the people who die
Will we meet them again when we reach our destination?
Our destination?

Oh, carry on, carry on
There's a silver light beside you
Take the hand that's there to guide you
Through this night to where we came from
Carry on, carry on

When the autumn leaves are falling
And you hear the voices calling you away
Then do not fear, you'll carry on
Carry on, carry on
