This is another song I wrote at the request of a sweet lady from far away. She asked that I write a song to dedicate to her children. Something that they could remember her by someday. One key thing she told me was that she's always asked her children to "point to the moon" and remember her. Thanks to Tommy Jones on Piano/Strings and Organ and Gray Burchette for the Electric Guitar parts.

Carry On
Words/Music By: Jamie Carroll
Written at the request of Caryl Park.
“To my beautiful daughters, Lee, Dana and Cera Tan,
Point your finger to the moon”
Love , Mum
It’s a brand new day. May the sunshine kiss your soul and put the past away.
Though this road is long there’s a love that keeps us strong. We’ll carry on.
With a smile we’ll turn the dark to light. Travel through the storms, keep our souls alive
Hear me in your heart. We’ll never be a part. Know I’m just a prayer away.
Hold on to the life that we’ve come through.
I couldn’t love you more and I’m so proud of you, so carry on….carry on.
Oh, in times of doubt be patient with yourself. You’ll figure it out.
Close your eyes and breathe. Love lives in you, follow it’s lead and you will see.
Always point your finger to the moon. You’re always in my heart. I’m always here with you.
Hear me in your heart we’ll never be apart , know I’m just a prayer away.
Look at all the life that we’ve come through
Always point your finger to the moon and carry on….carry on…carry on…..
I have watched this young man grow into a successful musician over the years. We did some of his early material together and he is still cranking out some amazing songs! James Vincent Carroll
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
