His light flashed bright then he crashed like thunder

On a star-crossed flight into pitch-dark skies

Now his silent heart the dank sod lies under

Where teardrops poured down from countless eyes

Without his might like a river flowing

In a forlorn plight I’d exist each day

But my consolation’s been born from knowing

These moving words he would surely say   

Carry on… carry on… won’t you carry on for me?

Never let life’s pain or sadness hold you back from victory

Just fight on throughout the game until you've won it in my name

Let me look back down to see that you still carry on for me

He's gone from sight yet he's not departed

Still he dwells within every soul he touched

Like the flame of hope his warm friendship started

Whose embers now comfort me so much

Beyond this night I’ll embrace tomorrow

Vowing nothing less than my best to be

I will smile despite my distress and sorrow

And carry on for him valiantly

Carry on… carry on… won’t you carry on for me?

 Never let life’s pain or sadness hold you back from victory

Just fight on throughout the game until you've won it in my name

Let me look back down to see that you still carry on for me
