AP Word Smith - LIFE GOES ON Lyrics

Cautious, I'm the cautious one
It's where they make apocalypse
As life goes on
Listen, life is a journey where you stumble and fall

Long fights and cold nights, I had to crumble and crawl
See, it's a gamble, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose it all
You need to settle, either you give your life or lose it all
My mama's trauma was hectic, her trauma left me addicted, I admit it

Growing on my own made me ambitious
Life can take you to places, but love will bring you back home
Words spoken against me will never break my bones
My past is buried alone, I'm unveiling the time stone

Cause pleasure was all I wanted, but pain was all that I got
Experimented some drugs, then later became a thug
A father figure, I needed, but no one came as I pleaded
Young and lost in a world with nobody giving directions

Had to face the reality from the right perspective
Young and lost in a world with nobody giving directions
Had to face the reality from the right perspective
Life goes on, you were meant to move on

Life goes on, you were meant to be strong
Life goes on, you were meant to move on
Life goes on, you were meant to be strong
Potential was all I had but nobody could understand

My future was in my hand, dropping the pen was not my plan
I had to change places, make friends, meet new faces
It was a dead end, my heart imbittered with hatred
While seeking for satisfaction I established the unexpected

The God-given gift that mankind always neglected
My life's picture was painted, my broken heart was being mended
Painful memories faded, relations had to be ended
My life Began to count love and purpose was found

At night I no longer cry, cause I was lost but now I'm found
The peace that surpasses knowledge restored a soul that was hopeless
Going back would be pointless, conviction conquers my conscience
The world is wicked and reckless, I'll follow Christ till I'm breathless

Knowing His love is endless, I'll never trade it for pleasure
The world is wicked and reckless, I'll follow Christ till I'm breathless
Knowing His love is endless, I'll never trade it for pleasure
Life goes on, you were meant to move on

Life goes on, you were meant to be strong
Life goes on, you were meant to move on
Life goes on, you were meant to be strong
You were meant to move on

You were meant to move on
You were meant to be strong
You were meant to move on
You were meant to move on

You were meant to move on
You were meant to move on
You were meant to move on
