text: You have asked me why the days fly by so quickly
  And why each one feels no different from the last
  And you say that you are fearful for the future
  And you have grown suspicious of the past
  And you wonder if the dreams we shared together
  Have abandoned us or we abandoned them
  And you cast about and try to find new meaning
  So that you can feel that closeness once again
  Carry on my sweet survivor, carry on my lonely friend
  Dont give up on the dream, and dont you let it end
  Carry on my sweet survivor
  Though you know that somethings gone
  For everything that matters carry on
  You remember when you felt each person mattered
  When we all had to care or all was lost
  But now you see believers turn to cynics
  And you wonder was the struggle worth the cost
  Then you see someone too young to know the difference
  And a veil of isolation in their eyes
  And inside you know youve got to leave them something
  Or the hope for something better slowly dies
  Carry on my sweet survivor, carry on my lonely friend
  Dont give up on the dream, and dont you let it end
  Carry on my sweet survivor, youve carried it so long
  So it may come again, carry on
  Carry on, carry on
