letra de press on - peter himmelman

[intro]
in the middle of the river, there’s a brown and white pony
stuck out on a rock with the current rushin’ by
the sun beats down and the wind whips up
as a murder of crows burst into the sky

[verse 1]
i got a lucid feeling like something inside me has woken up the courage to confront my own death
i step out in the water that’s colder than anger, so cold it feels impossible to take my next breath
as i go under, i think about my mother, i think about her hands, just a strokin’ my face
i come up to the surface, i look up at the sky, i see swirls of red dust rising into sp-ce

[chorus]
keep your head raised up and press on
keep your head raised up and press on

[verse 2]
i gather up some branches and a pile of dry leaves
i struck a couple matches and finally make a fire
i place some stones beside the flames, and when they’re too hot touch
i feel my body filling with the strange desire
the beauty and the folly, the antipathy enlightenment the sacred and insanely perverse
flame got a rising, sparks fly, like devils sometimes i wish i were living in reverse
to have my youth ahead of me clock slowing down someone’s at stretch on for 16 years
to hear the kind of wonder ahead of my bar mitzvah to fill myself with feelin’ with love so clear?
[chorus]
keep your head raised up and press on
keep your head raised up and press on
keep your head raised up and press on

[verse 3]
caught up in discovery lost in simple sorrow
thinking clear headed with no plan of any kind
all up in the tree tops wooden just for pleasure, singing long and lower out of his mind
if you were here with me i suspect i’d be crying, crying like a child at the sound of your voice
singing for joy if i lost it for lovin’ all the many times i thought i had no choice
when no one see i was mistaken to ever believe in the measurements i taken up the world
i shoulda have had more sense in a deeper imagination, felt confines lifting and the restrictions hurled

[chorus]
keep your head raised up and press on
keep your head raised up and press on

[bridge]
praise god with me one time, just kneel in amazement and shiver at what’s there to behold
now take these world blankets and warm yourself let’s sing to the heaven just to ward off the cold, just to ward off the cold

[chorus]
keep your head raised up and press on
keep your head raised up and press on
keep your head raised up and press on
keep your head raised up and press on
[outro]
keep on pressin’ on (keep your head raised up and press on)
keep on pressin’ on (keep your head raised up and press on)
keep on pressin’ on (keep your head raised up and press on)
you’ve got to keep on pressin’ on (keep your head raised up and press on)
you’ve got to keep on pressin’ on (keep your head raised up and press on)
you’ve got to keep on pressin’ on (keep your head raised up and press on)
