Keep going, my friend.
Keep your eyes to the sky.
Keep letting in light.
The morning is nigh.
Keep going, my darling.
Keep hope in your soul.
Each minute’s a victory.
Each new day, a goal.
Keep hoping, my love.
Keep reaching for hands.
Take everyone’s offer.
We’ll pull you to stand.
Keep going, my wonder.
Reach deep to your core.
The answer’s within you.
Just dig down some more.
Keep going, sweet sister.
Life’s taking its toll.
You’re broken and battered.
You never feel whole.
But
Keep going, my friend.
Your broken is fine.
If there weren’t any cracks.
How could your light shine?
