Keep On Keepin On
Oh oh
Hey yeah yeah
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
Poor kids, pouring cold water in their cereal
Second-hand clothes, surviving is pivotal
Praying to God at night things'll get better soon
I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story but no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now, happiness is hard to find right now
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
Lookin' out the window to a rose that grows in concrete
Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good in stuff that seems so bad, seems so sad
Seein' other kids with their Tims on, fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine
Don't worry there'll come a time
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
Young girl sittin' on the steps of a duplex
Why did God choose to make my life so complex?
Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble is a lonely source of fun
I can almost guarantee you it'll will get better soon
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
