Carry It On
Joan Baez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a man by my side walking
There's a voice within me talking,
There's a voice, within me saying,
Carry on, carry it on.

They will tell their empty stories,
Send their dogs to bite our bodies,
They will lock us up in prison,
Carry on, carry it on.

When you can't go on any longer,
Take the hand, hand of your brother,
Every victory brings another,
Carry it on, carry it on.

Carry on, carry it on.





Repeat 1st Verse
Carry it on, carry it on.

Overall Meaning

The song "Carry It On" by Joan Baez showcases a strong message of resistance and perseverance. The first verse of the song depicts a sense of loneliness and inner turmoil. However, this is met with an inner voice that encourages the singer to carry on with determination. The song then goes on to describe the oppressive forces that may arise against resistance, yet persisting through any challenges is important.


The second verse highlights the people who enforce the oppressive system, sending violent dogs to discourage and frighten the protestors. Despite the fear-mongering tactics, the lyrics are emphasizing bravery and persistence through the mantra of carrying on the fight. The third verse encourages solidarity during the struggle, as symbolized by taking the hand of one's "brother." Every victory is celebrated and leads to the next wave of action.


The overall message of the song is that the path to justice is riddled with obstacles, but giving up is not an option. Instead, people must continue their fight for what is right with determination, courage, and unison. This song is a powerful symbol for the importance of resistance, hope, and solidarity in times of social and political turmoil.

Und selbst wenn
alle Dunkelheit
Der Nächte
In den Tagen läge

Und selbst Erwachen
Schwer

ich fände doch
Zu Dir
Es führen Wege
Selbst wenn
kein Ausweg
durch die Tür

We burnt Each Other
everlastingly
Our Sign
Of truest Love that
Overcomes
The loneliness
And wildest
cry

When we embrace
and kiss our
Wounds

The Smile remaining
When we caress us
Will be
What lets us
deeply , sad
and of most
tenderness
Acknowledging
and
In our Minds
Forever
Found and
Not to destroyed
And we will
Feel that
We are Unite

The Ring i had lost
I‘ve found again
It’s prayer and Your Love
You Sent
A Turquoise of Arizonas Depth
Your heart in myne
And at The Turquoise
Coast beneath your Hill
We‘ll make Love
We‘ll follow our destined
And guiding
Will
Ich bin Dein Du Mein

on The Rose

For a moment
in a Night Times Blessing
I left You in my Loves Embrace
as like a Flower
~ a Rose ~
and Purity her name
in darkness,
that was to bloom
in Heaven’s place.

as for the Love
in me
was not Disgraced,
A Lasting Kiss ,
A smile
a Light
A heart
that burns
throughly Memories
Forever Living

As Nighttime fell
As Nighttime falls
I‘ came, l’ll come and be
The One You‘ll see
The Love you feel

Just like a wild dog
Runs
Through Bushes
Of fences
And calamities

I passed my way to You
Through even
Greatest adversarities

The Rose of Sharon
Schmückt meinen Mund
~trotz Ausgebissen Zähne
In des Lebens Leid~
Wir Küssen uns
in purest Love
That went through

To and fro
And come and go
And I came back to You

Forever and Forevermore
