Keep going

Every morning I put on a smile,

Tell the world that I’m alright.

Carry the weight behind my eyes,

Hide the storm I fight each night.

They say, “Be strong, you’re just a man,”

Like I should never break.

But no one sees these shaking hands,

Or how much more I can take.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ve stood on the edge of giving up,

Wondering if they’d even know.

But somewhere deep beneath the hurt,

A quiet voice says, “Don’t let go.”

(Chorus)

I’m tired, I’m hurting, I’m losing the fight,

But maybe there’s hope on the other side.

If I can make it through one more night,

Maybe I’ll finally see the light.

So if you’re feeling just like me,

Please don’t disappear.

Your story isn’t over yet,

The world still needs you here.

(Verse 2)

I’ve worn this armor for so long,

It’s become a second skin.

But even warriors cry alone,

When no one lets them in.

Maybe strength is asking for help,

Maybe courage speaks out loud.

Maybe healing starts the day

We stop hiding from the crowd.

(Bridge)

If all you can do is breathe today,

Then let that be enough.

One small step, one phone call,

Can be stronger than giving up.

There’s a hand reaching through the dark,

Even when you can’t believe.

Hold on until the morning comes,

Don’t let your hope leave.

(Final Chorus)

I’m still here, though the road is steep,

Finding reasons I can keep.

Every sunrise proves it’s true,

Tomorrow might be made for you.

We’re not alone, though it feels that way,

Someone cares more than we know.

So I’ll keep walking, one day at a time,

Choosing life, choosing hope.

(Outro)

If your heart is barely hanging on,

Stay for one more dawn.

The night can feel forever long…

But forever isn’t gone.
