Keep on
(Riccardo Maccabruni)


When the morning light is coming
like a freight train through your night
and there’s no one there to warn you
and they wouldn’t if they might.
When all your words of peace
seem to lead to a fight…

keep on holding on,
keep on.
Keep on holding on,
keep on.

When It’s hard to take a breath,
when you think you’ve got enough,
when the path that you have chosen
turns out to be too tough.
When you notice you can’t shine
like a gemstone too rough…

keep on holding on…

When your fondest dream is broken
and your last friend goes away,
and there’s no one there who cares 
if you’re leaving or you’ll stay.
When you find your mind is dry
and you got nothing left to say…

keep on holding on….

Even if your time is given
It’s hard to find your place
but you can rest in my embrace
every time your heart is bleeding.
If you’re still believing
there must be another way,
hold on to your faith.

Keep on holding on…
