Carry On
At times when you feel troubled -
when your happiness is gone -
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.
In your heart you will find special virtues
such as faith and hope and love.
Three gifts that have been sent you
from a power up above.
It is faith that keeps on searching
for the joy the heart hopes for.
It is love that heals the spirit,
making it stronger than before.
So if your heart be broken -
if your strength should fade away -
the power of these virtues
will still win out the day.
Remember when you're troubled -
when happiness is gone -
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.
