CHORUS:
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong

Remember the days we'd walk by the shore
Waves crashing, dreams soaring high
Sharing stories, laughter, and more
Under the vast open sky
Friends come and go, but memories stay
In your heart, they'll always belong
So when times get tough, just hear me say

CHORUS:
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong
Little one, don't you give up
Keep moving, keep strong

Think of the times we'd sit in the park
Watching the world go by
From dawn's first light to approaching dark
Never asking the reason why
Our path may twist, may turn, may bend
But our spirit must carry on
So listen close as I say, my friend

BRIDGE:
Better days are coming soon
Better days are coming soon
Better days are coming soon
Better days are coming soon

CHORUS:
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong
Little one, hold your head high
Keep moving, keep strong

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

CHORUS:
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong
Keep moving, keep strong

This has such wonderful imagery. I love the simplicity of the motivational message. I saw the title and it spoke to me. Going to remember this when I need a little inspiration :) The music is light and fun and your vocals so pleasant. It's beautiful!

Every once in a while we need to be encouraged to keep going. Thanks for the musical inspiration not to give up.

I can’t hear the reggae man! Maybe a whisper much more an island song! Nonetheless a very nice one!

@guatecoop 6d

Man this is like a ray of sunshine on such a frigid Tuesday. The lyrics are so uplifting and the instrumentation is perfect to just cruise along. I love that bridge!! Excellent song!

@sheslin 6d

Yes we do mon! Starting with the chorus really gets your message going in this song. I love the transition from the end of your verse back to the chorus. The jaunty vibe of the track adds to your uplifting message. Lovely bridge! I am going to keep moving, and keep strong!

@davidtaro 6d

Oooh, there’s a nice hint of reggae-ness, mixed in with the usual beautiful Jerry-flourishes. It’s a great combo, and I particularly love the simplicity and catchiness of the chorus refrain.

@musicsongwriter 6d

Yes, love the genre. Can never create a song in this genre but love listening to yours. Love the uplifting feel and Jerry flavour ❤️🎶✨️🎵👍

@sbs 6d

Yes, what Bill said. But I’ll take this as my mantra today!

@max 6d

Great uplifting song! Nice listen.

@katestantonsings 6d

Bill's comment below describes this beautifully :) The chorus is a mantra. The keys sound great, Jerry!

i can hear this as a reggae gong. the title itself is very reggae. but for me this is a classic jerry song, with all the sweetness that implies. sure, it could be toughened up by some jamaican band, but i love it just the way it is..not like a revolutionary inspiring his guerrilla soldiers, but as a father lending his strength to his child.
