Sweet Survivor - Peter,Paul & Mary
You have asked me why
The days fly by so quickly
And why each one feels
No different from the last
And you say
That you are fearful for the future
And you have grown
Suspicious of the past
And you wonder
If the dreams we shared together
Have abandoned us or
We abandoned them
And you cast about
And try to find new meaning
So that you can feel
That closeness once again
Carry on my sweet survivor
Carry on my lonely friend
Don't give up on the dream
And don't you let it end
Carry on my sweet survivor
Though you know that something's gone
For everything that matters, carry on
You remember
When you felt each person mattered
When we all had to
Care for all was lost
But now you see
Believers turn to cynics
And you wonder was the
Struggle worth the cost
Then you see someone too young
To know the difference
And a veil of isolation in their eyes
And inside you know
You've got to leave them something
Or the hope for something
Better slowly dies
Carry on my sweet survivor
Carry on my lonely friends
Don't give up on the dream
And don't you let it end
Carry on my sweet survivor
Though you know
That something's gone
For everything that matters, carry on
Carry on my sweet survivor
You've carried it so long
So it may come again, carry on
Carry on, carry on
