He was our hero

A man in black and steel

And we looked to him for guidance

And to still the fear inside us

And when he fell

We were so afraid

And we said oh what will we do

And his voice came back and said you

Chorus:

Keep on moving, keep on trying

Keep on reaching, keep on flying

You don’t know what tomorrow brings

And you really don’t need to know

Keep on living, keep on breathing

No more looking back and grieving

You got one true north inside your heart

Gonna take you where you need to go

He was a strong man

Never backing down

From the danger he knew faced him

In this life that God had graced him

And now you and I

We’re gonna do the same

And just like a star in heaven

We can make him live forever if we

Bridge:

And we’re all gonna have to be a little stronger

Cause the road up ahead just got a little longer

Now like all heroes

In all great stories

He has left a living legend

And we never will forget him

And there’s a young man

With giant shoes to fill

But Daddy says I’m riding with you

Son your gonna do like I’d do

Last Chorus:

Keep on moving, keep on driving

Keep on reaching, keep on flying

You don’t know what tomorrow brings

And you really don’t need to know

Keep on living keep on breathing

No more looking back and grieving

You got one true north inside you heart

Gonna take you where you need to go

Tag:

I am one True North inside your heart

Gonna take you where you need to go
