Jim Chastain - Carry On + The Undertaking (DEMOS)

Never has there been
A life without some tears throughout
A fight you cannot win
An ending some may fear to come
For all must reach its fin
Its very last goodbye
And despite how hard we try
We die for that's the
Price we pay to live
Never will there be
One who finds fate fair and kind
One who finds life free
We cannot run from what fate trusts
Us all to oversee
And though I will be gone
Your duty's not yet done
Carry on and protect
My son for me
I know that this task
Is much to ask of you
But you know I'd never ask
If you wouldn't make it through
It seems that we're upon
The start of denouement
Carry on
Keep my Peter safe from harm
I know not how to raise him
I know not where to start
But Ruth, I can promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I'll carry on
For even when you're gone
For even when you're far away
I pray you'll make me strong
I'll carry on
For Peter and for you
Carry on
I will do what I must do
To carry on
(To carry on)
For even when I'm gone
(For even when you're gone)
For even when I'm far away
(For even when you're far away)
I pray I'll make you strong
(I pray you'll make me strong)
You'll carry on
(I'll carry on)
As hard as it may be
(As hard as it may be)
Carry on
Lift that head up high for me
And starting tonight
(And starting tonight)
You'll do what is right
(I'll never lose sight)
And you'll always stay true
(Of my word I gave to you)
You'll carry on
(I'll carry on)
Carry through
(Carry through)
(For you)
Stories have their endings
How quickly chapters fly
Years like pages, all numbered
It's always hard to say goodbye
Goodnight, dear Peter
Rest, safe and sound
Let Diana on her silver throne
In moonlight, let you drown
May she guide you far from
The bloodshed tonight
Goodnight, sweet Peter
Sleep tight
Goodnight, dear Peter
Lay your head to rest
I wish you good and that you could
In your dreams, forget
The terror of the scene
The horror of the sight
Goodnight, sweet Peter
Sleep tight
Ruth, I am just one man
I know not where to start
I cannot say I'll overcome
This heavy, broken heart
But Ruth, I can promise you
That I'll lift my head up high
And I'll carry on
For Peter, carry on
I love you, Peter
And I will keep you in my arms
I swear to you, I swear to Ruth
We'll never be apart
For now, there is more than me
A fight worth twice the life
I have found my purpose
Tonight
(Ooh)
