Keep Going

Somewhere in a park in Minnesota
As I sat beneath the weeping willow tree
A butterfly it landed on the bench beside me
In the shade we both enjoyed the summer breeze

I can’t hide what’s inside
I wish I could call you on the phone
I would tell you everything
I would say lately I’m feeling so alone
Then I hear you once again

You say
I’m here
You’re safe
Keep going
That’s all you need to know

Your voice it spoke above
And everywhere around me
The willow in the breeze
It brushed upon my cheek
“I’m here my son so please
You need to keep on going
Have no fear because you’re always
Safe with me”

I want to ask you how you are
I wanna know just where you are
But I can’t speak
I want to tell you everything
I want to say right now
I don’t feel so alone
I hear you once again

You say
I’m here
You’re safe
Keep going
That’s all you need to know
