Carry On

Carry On
Lyrics by Teisha Helgerson
Arrangement and music by James Lowe

Yes she weeps,
I say no wonder,
Because its so beautiful
What she has done here.

The clock keeps ticking
Its' tales of sorrow.
We'll all just go to sleep
Until the sun brings tomorrow
And carry on.

Carry everything I will and won't become.
Carry on.

You loose all direction,
Shouting down the hall,
I'll be your reflection
Til you find your good footing.

When we said goodbye
I made a promise to myself.
I'd live a little better.
I'll try a little harder.
I'd be a little stronger.

Carry everything I will and won't become.
Carry on.

James Lowe's version is a wonderful and insightful adaptation of the orginal script by Teisha.  "She had alot to say and I had alot to say to her."

Teisha's script with penciled notes to "Write like you talk / think"

Carry On

The words get tangled
When they're blundered (thundered).
Yes she weeps
I say no wonder
it will turn, but not asunder they say

She said “If it hadn't been so tragic
It'd have been hilarious”
and tells her story
in a most telling sort of way.

Marry all my imperfections,
dancing's always dangerous,
marry everything I will and won't become.

Carry on in lost reflection,
there's soft shouting down the hall,
carry on carry on un-tiresome.

The clock is telling tales of sorrow.
We should all be sound asleep
but the winner woke us
coming through the door.

How many days until she molds you?
How many nights until he holds you?
Even now I only scold you
Nothing more.

Bury all my imperfections,
dancing's always dangerous,
Bury everything I will and won't become.
