We'll Keep Moving On

from Not On My Own Strength by Jordan L. Chilcott

/

about

What do you get when you take the sudden announcement by the company you work for that it is laying off over 4,000 employees over a long slow period, its marketing campaign slogan, some piano lessons, and an old idea originally recorded on guitar?

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET:
A dark, and yet hopeful, song expressing the pain and anxiety I felt at the time, knowing that despite the fact that life will be turned upside down in in one form or another, we'll keep moving on.

lyrics

I heard the news today
Like a bomb dropped at my door
Precious dreams lay shattered
Hopes scattered on the floor

Silence boldly broken
Heavy words been spoken
Our emotions frozen

Thoughts spinning in mass confusion
Hoping that it's just illusion
Feeling like all our hope is gone

But we'll keep moving on

Feel the tension in the air
Tearing through our veins
The weight of reality pulling in
As denial turns to pain

Praying for some intervention
Despite our best intentions
We somehow feel like we failed

Thinking if we just had one more chance
We'd do it differently
But our chance of that is slim to none

So we'll keep moving on

It feels the world has fallen down
While the people turn away
Ignoring all our cries

But if you put your hand in mine
We will get up one more time
As we sing one final song

And we'll keep moving on
