Just Keep On Living

The old folk use to say baby keep on living Life is gonna show you things and some things you won't understand just keep on living Ima keep pushing and moving I won't let nothing stop me Yes I think I'll run on and see what the ends gone be Life is full of uncertainties the unknown There's something about your tomorrow that you don't know. I've heard the old folk say baby keep on living life changes every day every hour and every minute What goes around is gonna come right back to you I don't care if you're the preacher or teacher doctor or dealer You can blame it on karma Blame it on God if you like but I've seen it with my own eyes and it looks like it's the circle of life The old folk use to say baby keep on living Life is gonna show you things and some things you won't understand just keep on living Ima keep pushing and moving I won't let nothing stop me Yes I think I'll run on and see what the ends gone be Back in the days every year we had a family reunion Cars would be lined up the street and the children would be outside playing There would be grandparents parents aunties uncles cousins and friends laughing and talking food spades and Al Green singing sitting on the dock of the bay But now it's parents against child child against their parents sisters against brothers brothers against their sisters forgiveness for a friend but no forgiveness for your kin And couples don't last long because they can't handle no pressure And they quick to give up on love but will stay on a job that they don't like a job that they been tired of The old folk use to say baby keep on living Life is gonna show you things and some things you won't understand just keep on living Ima keep pushing and moving I won't let nothing stop me Yes I think I'll run on and see what the ends gone be To that person out there that never gives up keep on living To the one that keeps falling down but you keep on trying again baby keep on living When it gets real hard to the one that keep on pushing through keep on living When you keep on going persistence has a way of rewarding you baby keep on living When you reach for the moon you might fall somewhere amongst the stars keep on living Just remember that every star has some light and a story of its own baby keep on living The old folk use to say baby keep on living Life is gonna show you things and some things you won't understand just keep on living The old folk use to say baby keep on living Life is gonna show you things and some things you won't understand just keep on living"
