Verse 1 My life? s like a circle It keeps going round and round and round and round again And i search for the purpose I gotta wear my crown And it seems like the farther i get The longer the road i gotta travel And everytime i get a situation raped up Another one start unravels Chorus Cause? i know the race isn? t given to the swift But to him that endureth to the end I know that some test you win Others you lose All you gotta do is say to yourself Stand up and carry on When your greatest fears When they run up on you All you gotta do is say to yourself Stand up and carry on Verse 2 I done walked through the valley With death looking over my shoulder I remember when my mama told me On my knees i? m as strong as a soldier Slowly, but surely i realized my life was not in order But one day he told me All that i need was right around the corner. Chorus Bridge I wish i had a dime for everytime I tried to reach the light at the end of tunnel But god stayed on my side And now i know that i am gonna endure to the end Chorus Vamp Stand Stand Stand Stand up and carry on
