Everybody gather round and listen to my song
|
I've only got one
|
|
We who are young should now take a stand
|
Don't run from the burdens of women and men
|
Continue to give, continue to live for what you know is right
|
Most of your life can be out of sight
|
Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light
|
Where everyone's free
|
At least that's the way it's supposed to be
|
We just keep on keeping on
|
We just keep on keeping on
|
|
Many think that we have blown it
|
But they too will soon admit
|
That there's still a lot of love among us
|
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth and trust
|
When we keep on keeping on
|
|
Before we dismiss, one thing I insist
|
When you have your young, remember this song
|
And our world surroundings,
|
Its leaps and bounds, ups and downs, is reality
|
Teach them to be strong and when they are grown
|
They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy
|
For all the wrong now is right
|
This nation's people are now united as one
|
And we just keep on keeping on
|
We just keep on keeping on
|
|
Many think that we have blown it
|
But they too will soon admit
|
That there's still a lot of love among us
|
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
|
When we keep on keeping on
|
|
Keep on keeping on, ya'll
|
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
|
Keep on, keeping on (Keep on, keeping on)
|
We got to move on up, ya'll
|
(We got to move on up)
|
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
|
|
Some years back I remember
|
Still in my mind so well
|
My mama made this ***
|
And I found it never fails
|
Never worry too long (Worry too long)
|
About what goes on (About what goes on)
|
Today it's sorrow (Today it's sorrow)
|
Look like joy tomorrow (Look like joy tomorrow)
|
Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on)
|
Keep on, keep on (Keep on, keep on)
|
|
We just keep on keeping on
|
We just keep on keeping on
|
Many think that we have blown it
|
But they too will soon admit
|
That there's still a lot of love among us
|
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
|
When we keep on keeping on
|
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
|
We're gonna move on up (We’re gonna move on up)
|
Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on)
|
Move on, move now (Move on, move now)
|
Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on)
|
