Keep on beating.
In the depths of despair and heartache's embrace,
When life seems to be nothing but a race,
Against the clock of time and fate,
We wonder if it's all too late.
But in these moments of utter despair,
We find the strength to keep on and dare,
To keep that beating heart of ours,
Going through the lonely hours.
For though we may have lost our treasure,
We still have memories to treasure,
And in those memories we find,
The strength to leave the pain behind.
We turn to those who love us true,
Who know our pain and feel it too,
And in their care we find a way,
To keep on going day by day.
For life is never promised to be easy,
And sometimes it can be downright cheesy,
But through all its twists and turns,
We find the strength to keep on learning.
So let us march on through the winds of change,
And through the heartache that can seem so strange,
For in our hearts we know it's true,
That tomorrow brings a chance anew.
And though our hearts may ache and bleed,
We know that someday we will be freed,
From the pain that we must bear,
And in its place we'll find a love so rare.
So keep on beating, heart of mine,
For in your rhythm we will find,
The strength to keep on marching on,
And to embrace a new dawn.
