Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If this is what it's like to be unholy, man
If this is what it's like to be lost
I will take this heresy
Over your hypocrisy
And count any cost
[Verse 2]
If this is what it's like to be empty again
If this is what it's like to be adrift
I will take this darkness
Over any light you cast
You and all your original sin
[Chorus]
Carry on
Carry on
'Cause there's no evil in a child's eyes
Carry on
[Verse 3]
There is still a stillness
Over the deep
And there is still a word in the night
The day blind stars
Over our heads again
Wait with their light
[Chorus]
Carry on
Carry on
'Cause there's no evil in a child's eyes
Carry on
[Bridge]
'Cause there's no evil in a child's eyes
It was made and it was good
[Outro]
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Written by: Benjamin Walter David Lovett, Dave Cobb, Edward James Milton Dwane, Marcus Oliver Johnstone Mumford
