Dreams have fallen and darkness comes a-callin'
Don't forget - the sun will shine again
When the clouds are forming and your world is thunder storming
Keep the faith - you'll always have a friend

Keep on climbin' - keep on climbin'
Reaching for the sky
Keep your eyes on new horizons
You can make it if you try
Everything's gonna be all right

And we'll take tomorrow higher than today
Gotta keep on - gotta keep on. Gotta keep keepin' on
Just keep on believin' and you'll find a way
Gotta keep on - gotta keep on. Gotta keep keepin' on

Stop agonizing - Lose your fear of trying
All you're gonna do is sabotage yourself
Ain't nothin' to it - Got to dig down deep - just do it
Spirit makes you high like nothin' else

Keep on climbin' - keep on climbin'
Reaching for the sky
Keep your eyes on new horizons
You can make it if you try
Everything's gonna be all right

Refrain

Steel town Pennsylvania born & raised
My high-school brothers were the word of the day
Said, my church goin' mamma, 'Didn't raise no fool.
Gonna sit you down, son. Gonna take you to school.
By the grace of God, you've been given the seed
But it takes sweat and blood - to reap everything you need
And when the cold days come and the leaves are gone
You got to keep on keepin' on
Keep on keepin' on

Refrain
