Carry On

Bred to bend but never broke

Made to make a master stroke

Were the answer not a joke
Fate has called as I awoke

Found another torch to tote

Picked a shore and burned the boat

Gonna win that's all she wrote
Glories gain without a vote

Lifted hand to help another

Shining beacon for my brother
Shared the joy among each other

Fires lit no one can smother

Paving ways to understand

Giving all to give a hand

Leaving marks to heal the land
Playing hard to beat the band

Made the world my work of art

Reason clear from end to start

Love it all with all my heart
Fate and I not far apart

Lend yourself to one who tries

See what comes as no surprise
look with clear and wiser eyes

Others soon begin to rise

Born to carry on
