lyrics
Amidst the spruce and hay
I wrestled with a god
And struggled hard to swallow down my fear
But Zeus to my dismay
Broke me a morning fog
And sauntered lively grinning ear to ear
And as I lay there welling up
In my pity and defeat
A little song escaped my tired lungs
Carry on, carry on
Every dusk becomes a dawn
I welcome every breath with open arms
I could barely take the pain
Crippled on the open range
With not a soul around to heed my call
So to the God I cried
Man, you'll never take my pride
(And) he returned to put me down once and for all
He said You're smaller than the smallest thing the planets ever made
A molecule is twice the man you are
But carry on, carry on
Every dusk becomes a dawn
I turned to face my death with open arms
And as he raised his silver bolt to
Offer me my coup de grace
Something flashed across his handsome face that seemed to give him pause
Looking deeply in my eyes he saw that all the fear had gone
In the end it's only love that made me strong...
And he couldn't stand to look for very long...
So carry on, carry on
Every dusk becomes a dawn
I welcome every breath with open arms
I wrestled with a god
And struggled hard to swallow down my fear
But Zeus to my dismay
Broke me a morning fog
And sauntered lively grinning ear to ear
And as I lay there welling up
In my pity and defeat
A little song escaped my tired lungs
Carry on, carry on
Every dusk becomes a dawn
I welcome every breath with open arms
I could barely take the pain
Crippled on the open range
With not a soul around to heed my call
So to the God I cried
Man, you'll never take my pride
(And) he returned to put me down once and for all
He said You're smaller than the smallest thing the planets ever made
A molecule is twice the man you are
But carry on, carry on
Every dusk becomes a dawn
I turned to face my death with open arms
And as he raised his silver bolt to
Offer me my coup de grace
Something flashed across his handsome face that seemed to give him pause
Looking deeply in my eyes he saw that all the fear had gone
In the end it's only love that made me strong...
And he couldn't stand to look for very long...
So carry on, carry on
Every dusk becomes a dawn
I welcome every breath with open arms
