Everybody gather round and listen to my song
I've only got oneWe 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 rightMost of your life can be out of sight
Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light
Where everyone's free
At least that's the way it's supposed to beWe just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping onMany think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among usAnd there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust
When we keep on keeping onBefore we dismiss, one thing I insist
When you have your young, remember this song
And our world surroundings, its leaps and bounds
Ups and downs, is realityTeach 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 oneAnd we just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping onMany think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among usAnd there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
When we keep on keeping onKeep on keeping on, ya'll
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keeping on
(Keep on, keeping on)We got to move on up, ya'll
(We got to move on up)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep onSome years back I remember
Still in my mind so well
My mama made this [Incomprehensible]
And I found it never failsNever worry too long
(Worry too long)
About what goes on
(About what goes on)
Today it's sorrow
(Today it's sorrow)
Look like joy tomorrow
(Look like joy tomorrow)Keep on keeping on
(Keep on keeping on)
Keep on, keep on
(Keep on, keep on)We just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping onMany think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among usAnd there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
When we keep on keeping onOoh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)We're gonna move on up
(Were gonna move on up)Keep on keeping on
(Keep on keeping on)
Move on, move now
(Move on, move now)
Keep on keeping on
(Keep on keeping on)
