Keep On Reaching

Keep on running

Down that long black road

You'll find sunshine and flowers

And maybe love to behold

But, can you keep a secret?

Keep on reaching

Up for a higher ground

But don't keep on preaching

From that book you found

Can you keep a secret?

I can play it on an old guitar

You can sing it like a monkey man

Don't speak of soul 'cause you've got none

And all the kids in a funky bar

Dressing down like a bogeyman

If they don't mind and you don't mind

I'm gonna write that in a song

But, can you keep a secret?

On the cover of a magazine

You wore a face that I've seldom seen

You spilled your guts but you've got none

You're driving round in a beat up car

That you found on the road you run

If they don't mind and you don't mind

I'm gonna write that in a song

Can you keep a secret?

Keep on reaching

Up for a higher ground
