{title:Sweet Survivor}
{st:Peter Yarrow}
{define: Bm? 1 2 0 0 -1 -1 2}
YGou have asked me why the Bm?days fly by so Amquickly,
And why Am7each one feels no dDifferent from the lGast.
And you say that you are fEmearful of the fAmuture,
And Emyou have grown susA7picious of the Dpast.D7

And you wGonder if the Bm?dreams we shared toAmgether
Have abAm7anoned us, or Cwe abDandoned Emthem.
And you cCast about and tDry to find new meaGning,
So that Emyou can feel that closA7eness one agDain.

     Carry Am7on my sweet surDvivor,
     Carry Gon my lonely frEmiend.
     Don't gAm7ive up on the dDream,
     And dCon't you lDet it eGnd.

     Carry Am7on my sweet surDvivor,
     Though you kGnow that something's gAmone,
     For eAm7verything that matDters,
     Carry Gon.

You remember when you felt each person mattered,
That we all had to care, or all was lost.
But now you see believers turned to cynics,
And you wonder was the struggle worth the cost.

And you see someone too young to know the difference,
And the veil of isolation in their eyes.
And inside you know you've got to leave them something,
Or the hope for something better slowly dies.

     Carry on my sweet survivor,
     Carry on my lonely friend.
     Don't give up on the dream,
     And don't you let it end.

     Carry on my sweet survivor,
     Though you know that something's gone,
     For everything that matters,
     Carry Emon.

     Carry on my sweet survivor,
     You've carried it so long,
     So it may come again,
     Carry on.

     Carry on, carry on.
