Keep going.It's what we


Keep going.

It's what we do

who we are.

When life gets twisted

when it hurts to breathe

When you feel most empty

Keep going.

Carry on.

Left right left right.

Go through the motions

As if they were

your battle plan.

Some people won't understand

So don't bother explaining.

Call upon your God

and put one foot in front of the other.

You're in a broken world

and it'll be okay.

But always keep going.

An unofficial condition of being alive

is to carry on living.

Keep going.

It's always what was

meant to be.

There is no other option.
