Testo Keep on Keeping On - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone Keep on Keeping On (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album Silky Smooth Soul
Everybody gather 'round and listen to my song
I've only got one
We who are young should now take a stand
Don't run from the burdens of women and men
Continue to give, continue to live for what you know is right
Most of your life can be out of sight
Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light
For everyone's free, at least that's the way it's supposed to be
We just keep on keepin' on
We just keep on keepin' on
Many think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among us
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
When we keep on keepin' on
Before we dismiss, one thing I insist
When you have your young, remember this song
And our world's surroundings, its leaps and bounds
Ups and downs, is reality
Teach them to be strong, and when they are grown
They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy
For all the wrong now is right
This nation's people are now united as one
And we just keep on keepin' on
We just keep on keepin' on
Many think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among us
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
When we keep on keepin' on
Keep on keepin' on, y'all
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on keepin' on, keep on keepin' on
We got to move on up, y'all
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Some years back I remember
Still in my mind so well
My mama made this one point clear
And I find it never fails
Never worry too long (Worry too long)
About what goes wrong (About what goes wrong)
Today is sorrow (Today is sorrow)
We got joy tomorrow (We got joy tomorrow)
Keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on)
Keep on, keep on (Keep on, keep on)
We just keep on keepin' on
We just keep on keepin' on
Many think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among us
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
When we keep on keepin' on
We're gonna move on up (We're gonna move on up)
Keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on)
Move on up, move on up (Move on up, move on up)
