Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up   Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup   Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away   If Mama was here I know what Mama would say     Carry on   Carry on  What don’t kill us makes us strong   Carry on     Little sister’s husband ran off with her best friend   Left her and the babies all alone again   It hurts to know the hurt that she’s going through   But I know that she’ll do what she’s gotta do   Carry on   Carry on  What don’t kill us makes us strong   Carry on     Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair   You’re never gonna get nowhere by running scared   If you look down deep inside you’ll find the faith to make you strong   Oh, oh carry on     I try to walk the sunny side of the street   Don’t let no shadows tangle up my feet   There ain’t no troubles that we can’t rise above   With a handful of faith and a heartful of love   Carry on   Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong   Carry on   Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong   Carry on  Carry on  Carry on  Carry on
