Lyrics
Keep On Standing
© 2002 Jon Peterson. All Rights Reserved.
Nobody said it was gonna be easy,
I didn't think that it would be this hard.
I didn't think that I'd be eating on silver,
But, life's been hitting me with disregard.
But everything will turn out peachy
In the end, you'll see.
Cause I've made friends with the dead and the living,
And they're standing here with me.
But, if you'll keep on standing,
Well, I'll keep on standing,
And together we can stand it okay.
Cause, I just don't think I can stand it alone another day.
Now I'm alone, it's just me and my children,
Gone so fast, just a shadow on my heart.
It eats away at something inside us,
Pulls us together and rips us apart.
[instrumental]
It doesn't take a strong, kind person.
It doesn't take the patience of a saint.
Well, it ain't fair; it ain't the way things should happen,
But, I still accept it all without complaint.
Cause everything will turn out peachy
In the end, you'll see.
Cause I've made friends with the dead and the living,
And you're standing here with me.
And if you'll keep on standing,
Well, I'll keep on standing,
And together we can stand it okay.
Cause, I just don't think I can stand it alone another day.
