Keep it up



Whatever you are doing
Never mind
Just keep on keeping on
Life is like a prison
When we pass our sentence
We live like never to be jailed again

Whatever you are doing
Keep it up
The moment I stopped keeping on
I found myself beneath standard
Until I discovered my failures
A dot beyond my success
Now am above the stars

A father told a son
Bait me you aren't going to make it a driver
The life I have chosen I must live
He kept on driving
Until he saw the green field
That took him to countries a magnate
Because he never quited for what they say

Like a fish swimming in a sea
You will never know your ability
Until you have attempted swim an ocean
Then you will know
That beyond one's failure
Is one step to success

Forever in your nerves
Let impulses retain it
A wealthy man
A wise poor man
Never ever give up
