Carry On

I have carried on so long
I can’t recall
how I’ve come this far
and what it all was for.
I still remember those nights
just layin’ in bed
hands behind my head
starin’ at the ceilin’
wide awake dreamin’
just to make sure
I’m alive not dead
eyes bloodshot red
all I ever wanted was
to change my life with this pen
it was bound to happen
felt it in the pit of my stomach
I just ain’t know when
so I kept on pushin’
kept on climbin’
it’s not like I had options
I was crushed
I was let down
but I’ve come too far
to think about stoppin’
these opportunities
might just ruin me
maybe my time has
come and gone
I got no choice but to carry on
I have carried on so long
I can’t recall
how I’ve come this far
and what it all was for.
seems like a nice life right
center stage well take a peek at
what’s behind the curtains
cause when the bright lights burn
out it turns out
blessings are burdens
I ain’t complainin’
I’m just sayin’ can I vent some of my frustrations
being Christian
being Asian
trying to live up
to your expectations
I mean it’s one thing
to think you know me
give me space though
you dont own me
why is it always
in the most crowded places
I feel the most lonely
the load is heavy
my shoulders ready
in my weakness He is strong
I close my eyes and pray
see the cross was carried
so I gotta carry on
I have carried on so long
I can’t recall
how I’ve come this far
and what it all was for
I have carried …on so long
before you run gotta walk
before you walk gotta crawl
carry on
carry on
before you fly gotta fall
before you fly gotta fall
carry on
carry on
before you run gotta walk
before you walk gotta crawl
carry on
carry on
before you fly gotta fall
before you fly gotta fall
carry on
carry on
