We have to go on
The world doesn’t stop it just spins away
When darkness falls on you the sun will shine the next day
When your being pushed and the was has got your back
Just bite down and bare it then attack
Calm your nerves never let them see you sweat
Give them something they’ll never forget
We have to go on when we stumble and fall
We have to go on pull ourselves up and stand tall
We have to go on when we’re hurt and on the mend
We have to go on and fight to the final end
To try and fail is hard indeed
But what you learn when your down will help you succeed
And when you loose try try again
Have faith because it can move a mountain
When you’re in pain and discomfort and dislike
Use all of your might to hold back the leaking dike
We have to go on when we stumble and fall
We have to go on pull ourselves up and stand tall
We have to go on when we’re hurt and on the mend
We have to go on and fight to the final end
When your problems are hanging over your brow
Cease the day for the time is now
When you’re down and out and the world has you dead
Rise above I all and lift your head
When your final breath is exhaled and they think this is it
Battle even stronger because God doesn’t want you to quit
