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…
