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
