KEEP ON KEEPING ON

[Intro] [Tambourine and drum stomp] [Hammond organ swirl] [Spoken: group, hyped] Come on, brothers! [Verse 1] They said I'd never make it past the factory gate Said a dreamer like me just had to sit and wait But I got a song burning deep inside my chest And I won't lay it down till I've given my best [Pre-Chorus] (Hey hey) When they knock you down (Hey hey) Turn it all around Stand up tall and stomp that ground [Chorus] Keep on keepin' on When the road is long Every step you take Makes your spirit strong When the night is cold Sing a brighter song Brothers, keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on) [Verse 2] I've seen rainy Mondays and I've seen empty pay I've seen friends walk out and never come back this way But the horns keep calling and the drums won't stop And I'll keep on climbing till I reach the top [Pre-Chorus] (Hey hey) When they knock you down (Hey hey) Turn it all around Stand up tall and stomp that ground [Chorus] Keep on keepin' on When the road is long Every step you take Makes your spirit strong When the night is cold Sing a brighter song Brothers, keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on) [Bridge] [Breakdown: claps, tambourine, bass] [Call and response] Can I get a witness? (YEAH!) Can I get an amen? (YEAH!) If you fall down seven times (Get up again!) Get up eight and go again (Get up again!) [Brass solo] [Hammond organ solo] [Final Chorus] [Key change, full band, group vocals] KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON (Keep on keepin' on) When the road is long Every step you take (Every step you take) Makes your spirit strong When the night is cold Sing a brighter song Brothers, keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on) [Outro] (Keep on, keep on, keep on keepin' on) Never give up, never give in (Keep on keepin' on) [Brass stab] [Final stomp]
