We keep on getting there
We'll keep on until we do
I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you
Right now this could be anywhere
We keep on getting there
Will we never arrive?
And if we ever do, will we still be alive?
They say, we're beyond repair
We keep on getting there
We keep on getting there
We keep on getting there
Our nerves always raw as it was long ago
We've been here before
Never, never again we swear
We keep on getting there
The tribe time forgot
We can hardly wait whether we want to or not
You'll never catch us unaware
We keep on getting there
We keep on getting there
We keep on getting there
We keep on getting there
We're going with the flow
For the likes of us
There's nowhere else to go
We keep on getting there
There's no going back
We move from sign to sign
Ahead of attack
On a withered wing
With a one word prayer
It's more than
I thought I could ever bear
We keep on getting there
We keep on getting there
We keep on getting there
