Keep On
James What Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I wonder if peace could be stale
All the things I’m living for relay real
All the laws above are always telling truth
When they’re preaching do they have a gift
that comes to us for proof
It’s filling my brain that means to end in
Do I have to understand where I come from to embrace new beginnings
Keep On

Should I trust the laws of nature because you told me to
or should I trust the force of existence that makes me move
If I had the gift to heal everyone inside this world
How far will live allow me to extend that love

Keep One

I wonder why people follow faiths and believes
without having a clear understanding
Assuming another’s world is bond




Even though that person was never there
But humanity keeps on and on and on and on
