When we keep on keeping on
Never worry too long
Teach them to be strong, and when they are grown
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
We just keep on keeping on

We got to move on up, ya'll
(Keep on keeping on)

At least that's the way it's supposed to be

(Today it's sorrow)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
That there's still a lot of love among us
(Look like joy tomorrow)

(We’re gonna move on up)
Some years back I remember
They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy

Don't run from the burdens of women and men

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
When you have your young, remember this song

Keep on, keeping on
We're gonna move on up
(Keep on keeping on)
Keep on, keep on
But they too will soon admit
(Keep on, keeping on)
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust

Keep on keeping on
Where everyone's free
Most of your life can be out of sight
When we keep on keeping on
And I found it never fails

About what goes on
Look like joy tomorrow
That there's still a lot of love among us
When we keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping on
Many think that we have blown it
Before we dismiss, one thing I insist
Many think that we have blown it

But they too will soon admit
Move on, move now
Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light
(About what goes on)
For all the wrong now is right
We who are young, should now take a stand
We just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping on

And there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust
And we just keep on keeping on
But they too will soon admit
(Move on, move now)
And our world surroundings, its leaps and bounds
(Keep on, keep on)

Still in my mind so well

Ups and downs, is reality
(We got to move on up)
This nation's people are now united as one
Keep on keeping on
Many think that we have blown it

And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
(Worry too long)
We just keep on keeping on
Continue to give, continue to live

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
That there's still a lot of love among us

(Keep on keeping on)
For what you know is right
My mama made this [Incomprehensible]
Today it's sorrow
Keep on keeping on, ya'll
Keep on keeping on
