Verse 1
Lift up the spirits of the soldiers passed on
And anyone doing right here in this world gone wrong, stay strong
Repave the way from greats of ancient days
Rekindle, reconnect manifested by what we say and do
See my friend it’s all up to you
Love’s the lesson, life’s the tool
Music is too, so don’t be fooled by what you see and hear
They scream freedom, but really they just rule in fear
We gotta beat-um, the end is near it ends here
Why stay seated when we know the beast must be defeated?
Grab the wheel and steer, Yeah!
We are more that we ever thought
This is a reminder for you who realized this but soon forgot
We burn hot, but under control we burn cold
We can’t get back energy stole of time sold so be careful
This is the same story heard thousands of times, but this time it’s through my rhymes
Chorus x 2
We gotta keep on keeping on, Reach to our goals and beyond
Seize the day cuz tomorrow it’s gone,
Stay true stay strong
Live life in love, learn the lessons it gives and ride on, right on.
Refrain 1
For everyone whose passed from this life
We’ll meet you on the other side. We still feel your light
And when it’s my turn to die, I’ll meet you on the other side
But as for now I’m alive!
Verse 2
Rise my fellow people this is the sequel to good and evil men and thoughts
Blended into one this is what we got
So many plots and schemes, races nations and teams
Working to create the same dream, know what I mean
Hail the supreme, the one we become when we become one thing
The ultimate intellectual being
That’s why I sing this praise to creation
To unite the world as one whole nation
Verse 2 - Continued
Sending musical sensations across the land
Tanan the Infinite I AM with a mic in my hand
Everything according to plan, beyond me, them, you
Or any mortal man so be true, do what you came to do
Until it’s my turn to die, it’s my turn to fly
Hot, burning holes in skulls to open third eyes
Why try when we do, everything we put our minds to
Like I said my friend, it’s up to you.
Refrain 2
For everyone whose passed from this life
We’ll meet you on the other side. We still feel your light
And when it’s my turn to die, I’ll meet you on this other side
But as for now I’m alive!
Chorus x 2
We gotta keep on keeping on, Reach to our goals and beyond
Seize the day cuz tomorrow it’s gone
Stay true stay strong
Live life in love, learn the lessons it gives and ride on, right on!
