I'll Carry On - Rich Mullins Cover | Sarah Grace Music

And we're back with another Mullins cover! This song holds a particularly special place in my heart, maybe just because it makes me think of my family. We sang a lot as kids - my parents are both musical and had us listening to good quality music from the time we were infants. So there's something very special about singing "I'll carry the songs we learned when we were kids." No matter how far from home I roam, I'm always going to carry the memories contained within those songs. And it's true enough that we all carry the scars of past generations. So I guess it's just a song that makes me a little happy and a little sad and holds a special place for me. God bless!

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Momma, I've got two strong hands.
And they're fine as far as hands go
I can shoulder the future, I can face the wind
For the dream that I must follow
It's a dream that can kill with its beauty
It's a hurt that can heal with its pain
And with all of these miles that lie before me
I may never get home again
[Chorus]
But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
I'll carry the scars of generations gone by
I'll pray for you always, and I promise you this
I'll carry on, I'll carry on
[Verse 2]
I kissed the earth on my daddy's grave
Said goodbye to my brave young companions
But when they hoist that sail I know my heart will break
As bright and as fine as the morning
I don't know where this road will take me
But they say there's a place there for a man
And I'm only afraid that my dreams may betray me
And I'll never get home again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And oh, I can shoulder the future, I can brave the wind
Oh, we go on, we go on, but we never get home again
[Chorus]
