We Carry On Lyrics

Today, like every other day,

We wake up empty and afraid

The wars we wage, our climate's change

Our children locked up in a cage

Nowhere to run, and no escape

Feels like sand beneath the waves

Evil never takes a break

Feel despair or feel the rage

We carry on (we carry on)

Stand for the right against the wrong

We carry on (we carry on)

The nighttime comes before the dawn

Keeping on, keeping strong

But there's no way we're keeping calm

We carry on (we carry on)

We carry on (we carry on)

Old white men in ivory towers

Silver spoons and golden showers

Lying, cheating, just like cowards

And Puerto Rico without power

Children dying on the border

friends and neighbors, mothers, daughters

Flint still doesn't have clean water

And the flames are getting hotter

We carry on (we carry on)

Stand for the right against the wrong

We carry on (we carry on)

The nighttime comes before the dawn

When the people make a sound

That's when we turn this ship around

We carry on (we carry on)

We carry on

GOP. NRA. ICE. KKK.

Fox News lying to your face

We've been cheated and betrayed

Some will say that things can't change

But there's no way they stay the same

Truth is rising from the grave

Love is gonna win today

We carry on (we carry on)

Stand for the right against the wrong

We carry on (we carry on)

The nighttime comes before the dawn

They may try to crush the flowers

But the spring's still gonna come

We carry on (we carry on)

We carry on (we carry on)

Like Rosa Parks and Ella Baker

We are the dreamers the music makers

We are the movers. We are the shakers

The dancing revolution instigators

We're the chosen generation

Dreaming a more perfect nation

The train's already left the station

The future is a celebration

The future is female. The future is fluid

The future is queer, and we're gonna do it

The future is trans*. The future is fearless

The future is music, and we're gonna hear it

The future is Black and brown and beautiful

The future is possible, doable, provable,

Suitable, usable, movable, mutual

You can't stop the truth

We carry on (we carry on)

Stand for the right against the wrong

We carry on (we carry on)

The nighttime comes before the dawn

When the people make a sound

That's when the walls come tumblin' down

We carry on (we carry on)

We carry on (we carry on)

Oh, we carry on

Oh, we carry on (we carry on)

Oh, we carry on (we carry on)

Oh, we carry on (we carry on)

Oh, we carry on (we carry on)

Oh, we carry on (we carry on)

Oh, we carry on (we carry on)

Oh, we carry on
