Goin' On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We hold our breath till the morning comes
And at last the sun shines through
But the night's so hard that it seems impossible
But what else can we do?
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Listen, you'll hear it
We're getting near it
It's coming, I can feel it
Cause I know you're going away
Listen, you'll hear it
We're getting near it
I know I really fear it
But we pretend it's just another day
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
We tell ourselves it's all just normal
Till the worst of it is gone
And then you give up, and you give out, and you just can't take it
How do we keep goin' on?
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Listen, you'll hear it (goin' away)
We're getting near it (goin' away)
It's coming, I can feel it (goin' away)
Cause I know you're going away
Listen, you'll hear it (another day)
We're getting near it (another day)
I know I really fear it (another day)
But I pretend it's just another day
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
We're goin' on
