Lyrics
STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
W.S. Burnside
Got a call from a dear old friend, just the other day
She asked me how I was, and what I had to say
I talked about my life and said that things were fine
I try to make the most of all this precious time......and she said
CHOROUS:
Well, you chose the road you're on.
And you'll, find the strength to carry on
And I was talking to my lover just the other day
I told her that my dear old friend, had called to say
That she wished us well and hoped, that things were "good"
I had'nt realized but then I understood........that we
CHOROUS:
Choose the road that we're on.
And we, find the strength to carry on
Bridge:
There are many sideroads on lifes highways we can take
Plenty of junctions along the way
So many choices in our life for us to make........like
We can go, or we can stay
And I was thinkin' to myself just the other day
About the triumphs and mistakes that I have made.....and
Just having had the right to choose to play the game
Gives me peace to know that I can stay the same or I can......
CHOROUS:
Change the road I travel on.
And I'll, find the strength to carry on Ooooo
Yes we Choose the road we're on somehow...
We find the strength to carry on
