paroles de chanson Remember the Ones - Eric Bibb

Remember the ones who kept on walkin′
When others tried to turn them around
Remember the ones who kept getting' up
Every time they was knocked down
Who believed in a new day –
Knowin′ they might not live to see it dawn –
Remember the ones who never gave up
An' thank them for keepin' on...
Keepin′ on
Keepin′ on
With hearts an' minds stayed on freedom
Marchin′ hand in hand
Leavin' behind segregation
Singin′ This Land Is Your Land
Openin' hearts to a new way
Climbin′ Jacob's Ladder rung by rung
Remember the distance they travelled
An' the victories they won
Tell your children where they′ve come from
Lift their spirits up high
Give them love, give them courage
For the dream must never die
Tell the children who they′ve come from
Let them know we've come far
Give them strength for the journey
Let them know who they are
Remember the ones who knew they were winners
Leanin′ on love, conquerin' fear
Remember the ones who learned to forgive
Day after day, year after year
Who believed in a new day
Oh, Lord, many thousands gone
Remember the ones who never gave up
An′ thank them for keepin' on...
Keepin′ on
Keepin' on
Keepin' on
Keepin′ on
Keepin′ on
Keepin' on
Keepin′ on
Keepin' on
