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
