Keep Going
Linda Varg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the Lord a long time ago
That´s a place on Earth
Wouldn´t you be glad?
And they say you will come back
Not until your human body dies
And you can tell that´s all about you
I never wanna hear myself to say
Why didn´t I keep going
Or see it coming
It´s always someone else´s fault
Why didn´t I hold on to
a 'late' is a little way
These are the words I never wanna hear myself to say
No way, no way
If life was really a gift
Would we want to arrive with the smile
Have enough of mistakes
We´ve done before
Take it to leave it just as a thought
I´m not trying to step on your toes
Oh please try to be kind to people all around
Do you wanna hear yourself to say
Why didn´t I keep going
Or see it coming
It´s always someone else´s fault
Why didn´t I hold on to
a 'late' is a little way
These are the words I never wanna hear myself to say
No way, no way
The lyrics of Linda Varg's song "Keep Going" are about the importance of never giving up on your dreams and taking ownership of your life. The song begins with the assertion that everyone has a unique gift from God that they should be grateful for. It goes on to suggest that we will only come to understand the true purpose of our gift after we die, and it is up to us to use our time on Earth to uncover its significance.
The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the fear of looking back on our lives and realizing that we did not push ourselves hard enough or take responsibility for our own actions. The lyrics caution against blaming others for our own failures and admonish us to be kind to those around us.
Overall, "Keep Going" is a message of hope and encouragement to anyone who may be struggling in their personal or professional lives. The song reminds us that while we may face challenges and setbacks along the way, it is never too late to recommit to our goals and keep pushing forward.
