Today, like every other day,
We wake up empty and afraid
The wars we wage, our climate's change
Our children locked up in a cage
Nowhere to run, and no escape
Feels like sand beneath the waves
Evil never takes a break
Feel despair or feel the rage

We carry on (we carry on)
Stand for the right against the wrong
We carry on (we carry on)
The nighttime comes before the dawn
Keeping on, keeping strong
But there's no way we're keeping calm
We carry on (we carry on)
We carry on (we carry on)

Old white men in ivory towers
Silver spoons and golden showers
Lying, cheating, just like cowards
And Puerto Rico without power
Children dying on the border
friends and neighbors, mothers, daughters
Flint still doesn't have clean water
And the flames are getting hotter

We carry on (we carry on)
Stand for the right against the wrong
We carry on (we carry on)
The nighttime comes before the dawn
When the people make a sound
That's when we turn this ship around
We carry on (we carry on)
We carry on

GOP. NRA. ICE. KKK.
Fox News lying to your face
We've been cheated and betrayed
Some will say that things can't change
But there's no way they stay the same
Truth is rising from the grave
Love is gonna win today

We carry on (we carry on)
Stand for the right against the wrong
We carry on (we carry on)
The nighttime comes before the dawn
They may try to crush the flowers
But the spring's still gonna come
We carry on (we carry on)
We carry on (we carry on)

Like Rosa Parks and Ella Baker
We are the dreamers the music makers
We are the movers. We are the shakers
The dancing revolution instigators
We're the chosen generation
Dreaming a more perfect nation
The train's already left the station
The future is a celebration
The future is female. The future is fluid
The future is queer, and we're gonna do it
The future is trans*. The future is fearless
The future is music, and we're gonna hear it
The future is Black and brown and beautiful
The future is possible, doable, provable,
Suitable, usable, movable, mutual
You can't stop the truth

We carry on (we carry on)
Stand for the right against the wrong
We carry on (we carry on)
The nighttime comes before the dawn
When the people make a sound
That's when the walls come tumblin' down
We carry on (we carry on)
We carry on (we carry on)


Oh, we carry on
Oh, we carry on (we carry on)
Oh, we carry on (we carry on)
Oh, we carry on (we carry on)
Oh, we carry on (we carry on)
Oh, we carry on (we carry on)
Oh, we carry on (we carry on)
Oh, we carry on
