lyrics

Make It On Through

You’re a long time living as you’re a long time dead
You’re a long time fighting the ghosts in your head
But you keep on believing for what else can you do?
When you’re the father of children you’ve got to make it on through.

It’s a mountain you’re climbing with a long way to fall
The years aren’t for counting but you have to stand tall
So you keep on scheming for what else can you do?
When you’re the father of children you’ve got to make it on through.

It’s a long day’s working; it’s a short night’s sleep
And though you are strong, some doubts sometimes creep
Yet you carry that burden for what else can you do?
When you’re the father of children you’ve got to make it on through.

Chorus
There may be days when things go wrong
But you’ve got to keep on keeping on
There may be times when you’re not strong
But you’ve got to keep on keeping on.

There’s times you’ll be broken by the luck you have known
When your job defeats you & you feel like you’re owned
But you keep on working for what else can you do?
When you’re the father of children you’ve got to make it on through.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

And your children may sometimes think your best’s not enough
And just raising a family can be tougher than tough
But you keep on dreaming for what else can you do?
When you’re the father of children you’ve got to make it on through
When you’re the father of children you’ve got to make it on through
When you’re the father of children you’ve got to make it on through.
