Go On My Child

i like songs with good meaningful lyrics. i have to say most of them that i like are quite slow, sad and depressing. piggy introduced and taught me how to appreciate this type of music when i went home for summer. i've been getting better at picking out good songs ever since i came back here. i guess my taste in music has matured quite a bit now that i'm growing older..

the song with the above title is one of my favourite songs that i listen to whenever i need a pick-me-up. it is a song about not giving up so easily; one should continue to keep afloat no matter how bad things seem to be cause there will be light at the end of the tunnel. things don't always look or seem to be as bad as we think they are.. there are many ups and downs that one has to experience in life.. i try to tell and remind myself that when i am feeling blue and sad. someone close once said to me, ''everything is just a phase.. the dark cloud will eventually go away..''

i'm not sure how long it will take but some part of me still believes that the dark cloud will go away and things will look brighter once again.. here's the lyrics to the song:


Don't hang your head low 'cause I can't see your face
in your reflection I see your beauty embrace
and when the light shines bright to show you your way
do not be weary don't turn your head away

so let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes
and let their tongues do their judging and criticize
and you just sit here before us and reveal your life

go on, go on my child
go on, go on my child

your soul is aching and it's dying to be heard
this might be painful but consider the worth
and when you feel like there's nobody on your side
they will embrace you with a radiant smile

so let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes
and let their tongues do their judging and criticize
and you just sit here before us and reveal your life

go on, go on my child
go on, go on my child

so you wanna give up and you can't find strength
but I believe that you will make it in the end
so you wanna step back and you want to retreat
but I believe that there ain't nothing you can't be
nothing you can't be

don't feel so naked I am the blanket of hope
your words are life rafts and they keep us afloat
and when this long painful journey comes to an end
they will be touched by the message
the message you've sent

so let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes
and let their tongues do their judging and criticize
and you just sit here before us and reveal your life

go on, go on my child
go on, go on my child
go on, go on my child
go on, go on my child
go on, go on my child
