Keep on Living

It was quite the journey
The joy and the pain of the learning
Nothing the same could drive you insane
The way that the pages are turning
You go through deconstruction
Life don't come with instructions
All that could happen
Faith and action had to reimagine
The story before
The faith that you held don't work no more
The one in the needs
The word and the deeds
And all you believe
When you were so sure
A part of you knows
With all of your soul
You will be lying if you deny
In love for Judah's Lion

What wеre you wanting?
Where wеre you going?
What did you learn?
How were you growing?
Was it all you hope for?
Was it what you dreamed?
Was it all worth it?
You tell me

Yeah
Tell the truth, Doug
Some of it still rain True
I know

Quite the journey, bro
Learn to earn it
Hold it all to fight for the peace
Moms was finna leave Pops right before she gave birth to me
God spoke to her
Changed her whole world
Don't move back to the East
Whether it's famine or feast
Find that new life lease
So blessed is she who heart was dead set on that pilgrimage
Depression was pressing near
But she wouldn't let it kill the kids
Faith really got its benefits
Nothing like community membership
One thing she would always say is nothing God do go to waste, y'all

What were you wanting?
Where are you going?
What did you learn?
How were you growing?
Was it all you hope for?
Was it what you dreamed?
Was it all worth it?
You tell me

Keep on living (Keep on living)
Yeah, yeah
Keep on living (Keep on living )

It was quite the journey
And I often imagine present me being equal parts in awe and irritated by future me
I imagine future me being patient
Still enjoying slight pauses between breaths
Consistent
Continually asking me the same question
The question I won't understand until I am him
He, we sit at the close of every day
With the eyes of an ocean of contentment
And ask me as his custom
So, What have you unlearned today?
