Keep Going
Wolfgang Haffner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so keeping up
we sit, we stand
we move as one
Some times it take a lot of love to keep us going
we halve, we howl
I kiss your mouth
And if it takes lot of love to keep us going
How does it feel
just to wake up
the sun is singin on the top so hey
why don't we wake up?
If is just to take a moment
A call
to you
with broken eyes
you smile
and lie ie ie ie
if its just a while
Some times it take a lot of love to keep us going
some times it easy just to lose it
all we need its just a moment
How does it feel
just to wake up
the sun is singin on the top so hey
why don't we wake up?
If is just to take a moment
Everybody is looking for the same thing
such in for and open door
taking to somewhere
Some times it easy just to lose it
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feeeel
How does it feel
just to wake up
the sun is singin on the top so hey
why don't we wake up?
If is just to take a moment
How does it feel
just to wake up
the sun is singin on the top so hey
why don't we wake up?
Because its easy just to take the moment
Because its easy just to take the moment
Because its easy just to take the moment
Because its easy just to take the moment
Because its easy just to take a moment
The lyrics to Wolfgang Haffner's song Keep Going talk about the need for love and connection in life. The song captures the essence of relationships, the ups and downs they bring, and the importance of holding on to love during tough times. The opening lines, "A ryze, a fooll so keeping up we sit, we stand we move as one," suggest a connection between two people who are joined through movement and action.
The chorus speaks of the need for love to keep us going. Through the good times and bad, the love between two people is a powerful force that can overcome obstacles. The lines, "And if it takes lot of love to keep us going, how does it feel just to wake up, the sun is singin on the top so hey, why don't we wake up?" convey the idea that waking up next to someone you love can be a powerful motivator to face the day.
The song also touches on the idea that it's easy to lose sight of what's important in life. The lines, "Everybody is looking for the same thing, such in for and open door, taking to somewhere," suggest that people are always searching for meaning and connection. The repeated lines, "Because its easy just to take the moment," serve as a reminder to cherish the little moments in life that bring joy and happiness.
Overall, Keep Going is a beautiful reminder of the power of love and connection in our lives.
