The Missing
Intro
Oh soul sister, teacher, reach me, through the ether, down the line,
Oh soul sister, seeker, touch me cross the distance, give some sign,
Verse 1
You say 'please don't stay’,
In 'the 'missing' every day,
After it all, let it go and live, oh go on live,
You say ' lift your sprit high
Leave 'the missing' where you'll cry,
It's an amazing time to be alive, so be alive,
Chorus
Carry on carry on, take each breath, each moment,
Carry on, carry on, flying high, oh you can fly so high,
Set your sights up to the sky,
Carry on, carry on, take you with me, each moment,
Stay with me, hold fast, please try,
Stay with me , hold fast please try
Middle section
Oh soul sister, teacher, reach me, through the ether, down the line,
Oh soul sister, seeker, touch me cross the distance, give some sign,
Chorus
Carry on carry on, take each breath, each moment,
Carry on, carry on, flying high, you can fly so high,
Set your sights up to the sky,
Carry on, carry on, take you with me, each moment,
Stay with me, hold fast, please try,
Verse
I say, I live each day,
Taking time to find my way,
Not in 'the missing ' yet I miss you every way,
I say, I'm here, alive,
Got to keep my spirit high,
Not in 'the missing' tho’ quite often I still cry, still cry
Chorus
Carry on carry on, take each breath, each moment,
Carry on, carry on, flying high, you can fly so high,
Set your sights up to the sky,
Carry on, carry on, take you with me, each breath, each moment,
Stay with me, hold fast, please try,
Fade out
oh soul sister, teacher, reach me, through the ether, down the line,
oh soul sister, seeker, touch me cross the distance, give some sign,
