Keep Going

The world is moving right along

     You must keep going.

There is no halting with the throng,

     You must keep going.

There is no topping on the way

The same old hustle – day by day,

You cannot stop in someone’s way,

     You must keep going.

If you would reach fame’s topmost rung,

     You must keep going.

Begin the strife while you are young

     And then keep going.

If you would keep from dire distress,

If you would make a big success,

And reap reward and happiness,

     You must keep going.
