Carry On: Finding Strength in Life's Challenges
Lyrics
Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Mama passed away in her sleep, and her death was sudden.
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
Daddy expressed his grief by shedding tears into Mama's old coffee cup.
Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all the way
Daddy copes with the pain by turning to alcohol to numb the hurt.
But if mama was here I know what mama would say
If Mama were alive, she would offer guidance on how to deal with the pain.

Little sister's husband ran off with her best friend
Describes the challenges of Little Sister, whose husband left with her best friend.
Left her and the babies all alone again
Little Sister is left alone with her children, facing difficult circumstances.
It hurts to know the hurt that she's goin' through
Expresses empathy for the pain Little Sister is experiencing.
But I know that she'll do what she's gotta do
Confident that Little Sister will handle the situation as needed.

If you look down deep inside you'll find the faith
Encourages self-reflection to find inner strength and faith.
To make you strong oh carry on
Having faith will provide the strength needed to carry on.
I tried to walk the sunny side of the street
Personal experience of trying to stay positive and optimistic.
Don't let no shadows tangle up my feet
Avoiding negativity and obstacles in life's journey.
There ain't no troubles that we can't rise above
Belief that challenges can be overcome with faith and love.
With a hand full of faith and a heart full of love
Using faith and love to rise above troubles.
