Got To Keep On Going?

No matter how old we are or get to be
If we are going to succeed, one can never quit
There will always be some rocks in the road
Some are in front of us, some we never see
We can never say, this is it
Just have to keep on hauling our load

If you feel like you have been on a wild goose chase
On a dead end street with no U turn
And it is always your neck in the noose
Running here and there, all over thee place
But that is the only way to learn
Only to find out that you are chasing the wrong goose

Some times not sure our path or where it will lead
Finding the road to Hell is paved with good intentions
Ending up in the ditch of life's interstate
Going to Hell at a high rate of speed
You need to change your directions
Don't give up, it is never to late

Life is not a magic carpet ride or some fantasy
Pretty castles or a trail of fairy dust
It can be a mean old monster that will kick you in the groin
The best wake up call is a thing called reality
Where one makes it or goes bust
No matter the case, we have to keep on going
