When you cry, when you're lonely
In this life you can't have gold without a flame
So wipe your tears from those tired eyes
Sing a song, darling, don't think twice
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
When your fears all surround you
Like a pack of wolves waiting right outside your door
When you feel like there's nothing left
Settle down, darling, catch your breath
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I know you're getting real tired of learning
How to get by alone
Carrying the world gets heavy, I know
But hope is gonna keep you steady
Love is gonna keep you strong
All you have to do is carry on
I've seen you walk through the fire
With a heart of gold
Every rainbow needs the rain
From the ashes you can stand
You can always take my hand
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I know you're getting real tired of learning
How to get by alone
Carrying the world gets heavy, I know
But hope is gonna keep you steady
Love is gonna keep you strong
All you have to do is carry on
Oh, I know where you've been
And your heart is wearing thin
Darling, don't you dare give in
Oh, this is not the end
Oh, I know you're getting real tired of learning
How to get by alone
Carrying the world gets heavy, I know
But hope is gonna keep you steady
Love is gonna keep you strong
All you have to do is carry on
All you have to do is carry on
