Chorus When life starts moving on (just go on) Sometimes the days will get long (just go on) It gets hard to stay strong (just go on) You’ve got to carry on (Just go on) Verse 1 It’s not hard one day at a time A million things on my mind, but I’m doing just fine I reminisce over times that have long since past Through the glass, I see how time moves so fast When I was a kid, I used to want to be a man I thought it was everything, but I didn’t understand As a man you’ve got to put life on your shoulders The nights grew colder, as I grew older And had to learn responsibility My friends and family, they all depend on me And I can’t breathe, knowing the consequences of my actions Ignoring all of life’s distractions, but I feel guilty because I have them Moving past them, man they were getting to me But then suddenly I had an epiphany I was living a life that had already gone The past is in the past, I’ve just got to carry on Chorus (Every day I wake up and I see That life’s not what I hoped it would be I used to dream that I’d have it all Now it’s hard to get up every time I fall) –Sing Sometimes I wonder what i am doing wrong It’s seems I’m always singing the same sad song Always moving, but never reaching the destination Every night as I go to sleep and every day as I awaken I’m contemplatin’, how I can be stuck and left behind I know the problem lies somewhere deep inside my mind Every single time it’s like I’m being held back Somewhere along the way I’m always going off track Trying hard to go in the right direction I get spun around and make the wrong selection I’m starting to realize the reason why My thoughts are in the past, even while days go by Chorus Every day on the news I see somebody die It makes me want to cry, I don’t understand why So I take a closer look and it gets worse you see The ones getting killed, they all look like me And they think like me, we have the same beliefs So I share their grief and pray to God give us peace I’m tired of the hate, I’m tired of the war We need to get it straight and realize what we’re fighting for We should be enlightened more, give new eyes to the vision No one should have to die based on race or religion But it seems we’d rather ignore the problems As if they’ll disappear if we refuse to solve them The same goes for the prisoners of politics We need to swallow pride and put an end to all of this We need to love each other ‘til the pain is gone So we can put this in the past and carry on
