about

Remember the shoulders we stand on and never, ever give up

lyrics

Listen to what the Feminine spirit says: Carry On
Born in the shadows
For so long
Knew about the root women
Heard their song
Voices flung up to heaven
Faith was their might
And the sacred secret of life
Help them to Carry on
Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Sister’s songs as moans and sorrows untold
Music scales from homelands
Not to be seen no more
Snatched from their roots
For evil abuse
But their spirits still held the truth and they
Carried on
All the women you hear them pray
about the things they could not
Wouldn’t speak out loud to no one
Listened to the soul within and they carried on
Using faith they would pray in the ancestors way
Working their fingers to the bones
With backs bend over, no rest and no real home
Yet yo could hear them humming and praising
God all day long
They carried on
