Keep on Keepin' On Lyrics

Oh oh
Hey yeah yeahYou got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyPoor kids, pouring cold water in their cereal
Second-hand clothes, surviving is pivotal
Praying to God at night things'll get better soon
I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story but no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now, happiness is hard to find right nowYou got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyYou got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyLookin' out the window to a rose that grows in concrete
Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good in stuff that seems so bad, seems so sad

Seein' other kids with their Tims on, fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine
Don't worry there'll come a timeYou got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyYou got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyYoung girl sittin' on the steps of a duplex
Why did God choose to make my life so complex?
Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble is a lonely source of fun
I can almost guarantee you it'll will get better soonYou got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyYou got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
Gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
