“Keep On”

Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You’re doin’ just fine
Keep on keepin’ on

Keep in mind the difference
Between courage and will
Don’t be afraid to stop what you’ve begun
The straight folks think that winnin’
Gives them license to kill
But number good is better than number one

Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You’re doin’ just fine
Keep on keepin’ on

The eye that cast aspersions
On the quiet way of life
Is lost among the past and partly blind
And aggressive undermining
Of what you know is right
Is the work of fools who think without their mind

Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You’re doin’ just fine
Keep on keepin’ on

[break]

With a gentle overturning
Of the darkness for the light
Extend yourself with caution to the call
And should tomorrow find you
Moving slowly through the night
Don’t let their cries of terror make you fall

Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You’re doin’ just fine
Keep on keepin’ on
You’re doin’ just fine
Keep on keepin’ on
