Carry On- James Arthur Ferguson (Americana Original)

I did my best, forget the rest
We blame it all on thoughts and feelings
Lose control, out of the fold
And find yourself deep in the mold
Of deeper thoughts, and endless props
It gives illusions of false healing
Knowing I may never sing again

But don’t pity me, I found my peace
Its fortified within my dreams
A foolish man will trade his soul
For Silver and for Gold
Lord use me now, just like you did
Way back then, so in the end
I can sing along with all my friends
Let us sing along with all our friends

-We carry on through the winter time
Knowing life comes when the bell to spring has rung
We move along through these harder times
Knowing light comes when the colder weather’s gone

In shadows deep, where whispers creep,
I've laid my weary head to sleep.
In dreams, I soar, beyond the shore,
To realms where the eagles soar
The world's weight, a fading state,
In slumber's hold, I find my gate.
To realms of light, beyond the night, again.
Where hope ignites, and hearts take flight again.

-We carry on through the winter time
Knowing life comes when the bell to spring has rung
We move along through these harder times
Knowing light comes when the colder weather’s gone

Through storms I've walked, in silence talked,
With ghosts of past, in dreams we've walked.
The lessons learned, as bridges burned,
In every loss, a page is turned.
A waterfall of memory,
Prismatic colors of my destiny.
With each new wave, I've come to care again.
For moments lost, we’re breathing air again.

**And now I stand, with outstretched hand,
Upon the precipice of land.
Where seas of change, though wide and strange,
Invite my heart to rearrange.
To sing once more, as I did before,
The melody that opens doors.
With voice anew, I'll pierce the blue again.
And find the strength to start anew again.

-We carry on through the winter time
Knowing life comes when the bell to spring has rung
We move along through these harder times
Knowing light comes when the colder weather’s gone
