Keep On Going On

Keep on Going on is a song that was written for the final session of one of the children’s support groups, an 8-week program for children and teens who have experienced a loved one’s death. This positive song speaks to the power of group support and active grief processing through music therapy!

We’ve come a long, long way
and we’ve been through some things together
Sharing our grief these days,
we’ve seen a lot of stormy weather
The one we love is gone
but we carry them deep in our hearts
And though the road is long,
we’ll make this day a brand new start

Chorus
Now the healing has begun
just look how far we’ve come
And so we keep on going on
and we will keep their memory strong
We’ve got our family and friends
to lean on and help us
Keep on going on, keep on going on

And as we share our pain
so many feelings flow like water
And though our life has changed
every day we get a little bit stronger
And time cannot erase the life
and love we shared together
There’s a special place
in our hearts where we remember

(chorus)
