[Verse 1]
Wake up, brother, lift your eyes
Feel the sun, see the light
There's a reason you're alive
Come on, brother, lift your eyes
Life is fragile, don't you know?
Life's a battle for the soul
Here today, here to go
Don't waste time here feeling low

[Chorus]
And when hope has sailed away
Glory's made its grave
Keep on keeping on
When the devil's arm seems strong
Brother, keep on keeping on

[Verse 2]
Day by day, night by night
Take it slow, it's alright
Don't give up before you try
Come on, brother, it's alright
You get high, you get low
You forget what you know
I can tell you feel alone
Lay it down now, come on home
[Chorus]
And when hope has sailed away
Glory's made its grave
Keep on keeping on
When the devil's arm seems strong
Brother, keep on keeping on

[Bridge]
Keep your head up, brother
Keep your head up, brother
Keep your head up, brother
Keep your head up, brother

[Chorus]
And when hope has sailed away
Glory's made its grave
Keep on keeping on
When the devil's arm seems strong
Brother, keep on keeping on
Keeping on
