The Strength to Carry On

Album: Memento Mori

[verse]
I hear the bells
Tolling the same tone
As I read
the phrase on the gravestone

I wish my heart
was also made of stone
It hurts so much
And I all do is groan

Trying to find
How can I go on
Since my dreams
And hopes and joys are gone

I know my mind
Tells me to be strong
I try to find
The strength to carry on

[instrumental]

[verse]
So many things
I should have said and done
And now my heart
Seems to weigh a tone

I'm fighting back
The tears I've never shown
Trying to face
This cruel world on my own

This world's too big
To face it all alone
I had the nerve
Without you I have none

I know that you
Would want me to be strong
So I must find
The strength to carry on

[outro]
Though it's so hard
I know I must go on
And gotta find
The strength to carry on
