Walking On

Yes, I have a secret
Every morning it wakes up and sings
The hopes of a new day,
it puts in order
Filling lines on the empty page
From my eyes, it wipes out all sadness

To get up and continue on
With the strength of 1,000 songs
To get up and continue,
To continue and march on
To open [my] eyes
To the magic of distant lights
To open [my] eyes
To singing fields

If it happens
That at night, the shadow overwhelms me
Again threatening
But in the darkness God helps
A new, warm light is revealed to me
And behold, another wonderful day rises

To get up and continue on
With the strength of 1,000 songs
To get up and continue,
To continue and march on
To open [my] eyes
To the magic of distant lights
To open [my] eyes
To singing fields

Yes, I have a secret, I have a secret
Yes, this is the secret, this is the secret
It always comes at difficult moments
At difficult moments

To get up and continue on
With the strength of 1,000 songs
To get up and continue,
To continue and march on
To open [my] eyes
To the magic of distant lights
To open [my] eyes
To singing fields

To get up and continue on
With the strength of 1,000 songs
To get up and continue,
To continue and march on
To open [my] eyes…
