You've been chasing shadows In the fault lines of your past You've been sailing blindfold With your back tied to the mast Don't give in to bitterness When it's snapping at your heals It takes a dream to see it Blood sweat and tears to make it real You gotta keep on walking When your heart is sinking low Keep on walking When you feel like letting go Keep on walking Cause I know it won't be long If you keep on walking And hold on You can't teach a turtle How to crawl into the sea You can't know the future Thats just the way it has to be You can't turn the clock back You can't change what's gone before But if you just believe it You can open any door You gotta keep on walking When your heart is sinking low Keep on walking When you feel like letting go Keep on walking Cause I know it won't be long If you keep on walking And hold on Don't get burned out From running blind Work that dream out One step at a time Ain't no struggle Ain't no suffering or pain Won't be rewarded When the winds of fortune change Don't let those snipers And backbiters bring you down Keep your head together And your good foot on the ground You gotta keep on walking When your heart is sinking low Keep on walking When you feel like letting go Keep on walking Cause I know it won't be long If you keep on walking And hold on
