Keep Moving

when things go wrong as they sometimes do 
and you feel life is cheating on you
when the tables turn all of a sudden 
and leaves you with a lot of burdens 
you may get a rest
but never do quit. 


when things go wrong as they sometimes do
remember those who never felt right
when you feel life is cheating on you
what about those who are not alive
you may get a rest
but never do quit.

the times you feel you dint get enough
think about those who dint get at all
or when you aren't comfortable enough
what about those who never felt comfort
you may get a rest
but never do quit. 

when you feel life is cheating on you
and you don't always get what you want
what about those who were caught in bomb blasts
and their families are left unkempt
you may get a rest 
but never do quit.

when you are about to give up
think about tthose who never had the chance to try 
wwhen you look at how long you have to go 
did you ever imagine how far you've come
you may get a rest 
but never do quit.
 
wwhen you are about giving up on life
take a moment and feel the grief of 9 months wwith your mother
and if by then you still want to give up
tthen probably you shouldn't have come 
the pace may be slow at first
but never do give up.
 
if you ever think about giving up 
iisn't that giving haters what they want 
How about yyou take a big step
and prove them all wrong
you can get a rest
but never do give up.
