[Intro]
Footsteps on a dusty road, the sun a slow, heavy drum
Jonas wears the miles like a coat, a map of where he’s come
[Verse 1]
He moves through weathered towns and strangers’ eyes
Carried by a quiet vow, to keep his truth alive
Each ache a doorway, each smile a small relief
He learns that mercy travels best with hands held tight in belief
[Chorus]
Carry on, carry on, through the weather and the fear
We’re lifting each other higher, when the path becomes unclear
In the chorus of the crowd, you hear a safer voice inside
You’re not alone in the fight, there’s strength in every stride
[Verse 2]
A sister offers bread, a neighbor shares a bed
Stories braid like river roots beneath the wandering tread
He finds a quiet courage in a hum of a shared song
That steadies him like a compass when the night feels long
[Chorus]
Carry on, carry on, through the weather and the fear
We’re lifting each other higher, when the path becomes unclear
In the chorus of the crowd, you hear a safer voice inside
You’re not alone in the fight, there’s strength in every stride
[Bridge]
If the road grows cold and the papers say it’s over
He hears a chorus rise—from hands that shoulder one another
[Chorus]
Carry on, carry on, through the weather and the fear
We’re lifting each other higher, when the path becomes unclear
In the chorus of the crowd, you hear a safer voice inside
You’re not alone in the fight, there’s strength in every stride
[Outro]
Footsteps fade to a kinder pace, the horizon opens wide
Jonas keeps the light he’s found in others burning bright inside
