Lyrics | There’s a Call for You and Me, Carry On! Verse: There’s a call for you and me, sounding over land and sea, carry on! Carry on! Through each loyal heart it goes, from the tropics to the snows, carry on! Carry on! So it’s goodbye, boy, and we wish you luck and joy, though it’s weary waiting while you’re gone. But we’ll check the rising tear, and we’ll say, without a fear, carry on! Carry on! Carry on! Refrain: Carry on! Carry on! ‘Tis the call for you and me. We will fight for the right, in the light of liberty. ‘Tis the dawn! ‘Tis the dawn of the day we long to see! Of the ships are afloat, and the sword is drawn, carry on! Carry on! Verse: Where the lines of battle form, ‘mid the breaking of the storm, carry on! Carry on! Every heart, throughout the land, bravely answers the command, carry on! Carry on! For we love you, boy, and there’s nothing can destroy our faith and courage, while you’re gone Where the flag has been unfurled for the freedom of the world. Carry on! Carry on! Refrain |
