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 every time I get a situation wrapped up,
Another one just unravels,
But I know the race isn’t given to the swift,
But to him that endureth to the end!

Chorus
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 my 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,
And one day He told me,
All that I need was right around the corner.
'Cause I know the race isn't given to the swift,
But to him that endureth to the end!

Chorus

Bridge
I wish I had a dime for every time,
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!
