  • At forty-four minutes to four
    An angel walked up to my door
    Opened the windows to my soul
    Told me he thinks that I should know
    There's no slowin' down
    As the globe spins 'round and 'round

    You gotta keep goin', better keep goin'
    Better keep goin', you gotta keep goin'
    Gotta keep goin', you gotta keep goin'
    You gotta keep goin', you better keep goin'
    You gotta keep goin'

    If there's one thing that I
    Learned while in those county lines
    Is that everything takes time
    You have gotta lose your pride
    You have gotta lose your mind
    Just to find your peace of mind
    You have gotta trust the signs
    Everything will turn out fine

    So why aren't you smilin'? Why aren't you smilin'?
    Life can get wild when, you're caught in the whirlwind
    Lost in the whirlwind, you're chasin' the wind
    You gotta understand
    There's really no end, there's really no beginnin'
    There's really no real, there's really no pretendin'
    There's really no fail, there's really no winnin'
    'Cause nothin' really is, and everything really isn't

    At forty-four minutes to four
    An angel walked up to my door
    Opened the windows to my soul
    Told me he thinks that I should know
    That life only gets harder but you gotta get stronger
    This is for my brother, I do this for my daughter

    That's why I keep goin', that's why I keep goin'
    That's why I keep goin'
    That's why I keep goin', I gotta keep goin'
    I gotta keep goin', I gotta keep goin'
    I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin'
    Gotta keep goin', oh
    And I gotta show them that I can keep goin'
    Ohh
    I
    I gotta keep goin', I gotta keep goin'
    I gotta keep goin'

    Why aren't you smilin'? Why aren't you smilin'?
    Life can get wild when, you caught in the whirlwind
    Lost in the whirlwind, you're chasin' the wind
    You gotta understand
    There's really no end, there's really no beginnin'
    There's really no real, there's really no pretendin'
    There's really no fail, there's really no winnin'
    'Cause nothin' really is and everything really isn't

    That's why I keep goin' Writer/s: Brian Warfield, Jhene Aiko Chilombo, Mac Robinson, Michael Volpe, Stephen Bruner

  • Arriah Ward from St Louis, Missourithis song has been on my mind lately and i didnt know why so i decided to look up the meaning and now i understand why i couldnt stop thinking about it it describes how i felt after my grandmother passed away and all i can think of is how she always wanted me to keep living my life no matter what happened and ig this was just her sending a reminder
