keep going

Who knows how to keep going
When you cannot see in front of you?
Who has the strength to carry on
Even though the world's gone dark for you?

He built a house without knowing
What it would look like.
He built a legacy with his two bare hands
Not knowing how far it would go.

He fought and sacrificed and worked and gave
His whole life not knowing in the end
Just what it would look like,
Who he would help.

Who makes a difference every day?
They who keep on going.
