[Intro]
Everybody gather 'round and listen to my song
I've only got one

[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
We just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping 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 keeping on

[Verse 2]
Before 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 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
[Refrain]
And we just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping 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 keeping on

[Break]
Keep on keeping on, y'all
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on)
We got to move on up, y'all (We got to move on up)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 3]
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 in sorrow (Today in sorrow)
We got joy tomorrow (We got joy tomorrow)
Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on)
Keep on, keep on (Keep on, keep on)
[Refrain]
We just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping 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 keeping on

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
We're gonna move on up (We're 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)
