I Go On

When the soles of my feet, and the palms of my hands turn red and scorched, I go on. When my face is hot from the heat, I go on. My eyes shed tears and my nose turns cold, I go on. When there's so much to fear and life seems not here, I go on. The friends you lose one by one and the graves you walk on count so many, I go on When there's nothing to ask or face, I go on. I go on because I am the dreams of those gone by. I go on for the Sun lite sky. I go on for the hope of the few and the day. I go on for future care. I go on for my darling dear. And, so I go on.
