Lyrics

The struggle goes on, by The Neech

Keep the faith my friend
I know things have been rough around you
Keep the faith my friend
Stay the course my friend
Change may be just coming to you
The struggle goes on

Keep your hopes my friend
You raised your children with so little
Keep your hopes my friend
Stay the course my friend
You worked so hard and had no leisure
The struggle goes on

Think about the good you have done
To you moms and dads of the world I'm singing this song
Think about the good you can do
Unsung heroes of the world I'm bowing to you

Don't you know my friend
That someone's watching over you
Don't you know my friend
Keep fighting the good fight
Everything will be alright
The struggle goes on

I heard your children say
You gave so much and took so little
Heard your children say
In a troubled world
You taught them to do good, not evil
The struggle goes on

I heard your children say
You will be their hero forever
Heard your children say
Because of you my friend
Tomorrow looks a little brighter
The struggle goes on
