Go On

Russ Taff


Slapped as a newborn baby
Trapped as a child
Head full of absolutes
A heart running wild
This legacy lies
Like a bullet in your brain
Maybe your courage
Has been swallowed up by shame
I know it's a hard one to carry
So lay it down

And learn to rise up
Go on
When the water's rough to cross
Go on
The path you walk is tough
Go on
You're gonna find His strength enough
To get to the other side

Who can you trust in
Who'll testify
Those skeletons get mean
When they find a place to hide
Sold is the soul
That keeps it's greatest fear unknown
You're gonna feel such freedom
When you start shakin' up them bones
He didn't pull you from the river
To drown you in the sea

You've got to learn to rise up
Go on
When the water's rough to cross
Go on
The path you walk is tough
Go on
You're gonna find His strength enough
To get to the other side
