The wind is blowing in my namesake
I close my eyes and feel the sun
These words don’t come to me the same way
Like they did when I was young
But hold on
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
It’s been four months since daddy left us
His fishing gear’s in the garage
My momma broke in tears at breakfast
Saying, “this pains been tearing me apart, for so long”
But
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Magpies singing the world to sleep
Tears hide, coax them out with melodies
I try, harder than you’ll ever see
Oh yes, I believe
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going…
