Why do I keep on trying
To fit in where I don’t belong
Why do I keep on trying
To be like the rest
Why do I keep on trying
To please the world
Why do I keep on trying
To always do my best
Why do I keep on trying
To always do what’s right
Why do I keep on trying
Just to bring a smile
Why do I keep on trying
To stand up for myself
Why do I keep on trying
To bring happiness for a while
Why do I keep on trying
To bring kindness to the cruel
Why do I keep on trying
To pick up the beaten ones who rule
Why do I keep on trying
To take away all the pain
Why do I keep on trying
To replace the rain
Why do I keep on trying
I just can’t keep it up
I might as well give in
But I won’t give up
I will keep on walking
When the world passes me by
I will keep on comforting
When anyone needs to cry
I will keep on smiling
When the world has to frown
I will keep on helping up
Those who have fallen down
I will keep on doing what’s right
When the world is doing wrong
I will keep on singing
When the world doesn’t sing along
I will keep on being your friend
When everyone says it’s the end
I will keep on being myself
Even if it’s not the trend
I will keep on, keep on, keep on
I won’t give in
I will keep on, keep on, keep on
Even if it is the end
I refuse to give up
I refuse to give in
And I’m gonna keep on
Even at the end
