This song is inspired by the most heartfelt prayer request I've ever read. The request was from a father pleading for his dear son to be comforted if not healed of cancer. Although I do not know the end of this story, they are branded in my heart.

Story behind the song
The title and chorus of this song came from watching "We Were Soldiers" on the 4th of July... After losing a beloved brother in arms Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore is admonished with 2 simple words "Carry On" Whatever hardship or loss you may be facing today; Carry On
Lyrics
"Carry On" Watched his firstborn take his last breathe As he slipped away with the angels Prayed all night for Divine intervention Guess some things ain't meant to be Lays his head on his breast as he cries til' dawn and says so long Carry On... She lays a rose beside a gravestone In the pouring rain she's dressed in black Holding on to that diamond ring he gave her Thirty years goes by so fast Who will hold her when the nights grow cold and long so long Carry On... If God be for us, they say "Who can be against us" Sometimes, It ain't so easy to believe We all have our own "Via Dolorosas" We're all tryin' to find "The Way" Carry On... Another hero gets his medal while his momma gets his flag He gave his life for the life of another man there's no greater love than that Who will tell his baby girl how much he loves her who will help her understand Carry On...
