Chris Shinn: I wrote it through the eyes of a fictitious character who died doing what he loved to do, which is sailing.
Brad: “Keep On” was an arrangement by Christopher that Chris Shinn wrote all the lyrics to and I helped him out with the chorus, it just came from everywhere."
Lyrics:
Fighting
waves thirty feet tall
The
boat is nearly full of water
When
your thinking becomes crystal clear
Life
is consumed by the moment
Keep
on, keeping on
Don't
wait for the wind to blow
Keep
on, keeping on
Don't
wait for the wind to blow
Is
this fear or love I feel
Did
we sink or are we sailing
Calm
and warm the water moves
Over
me like a lover who puts me to sleep
There
was a lot of things I never believe
Like
that I would ever drown at sea
There
lived a man in control of his life who believed
To
die doing what you loved is alright
Keep
on, keeping on
Don't
wait for the wind to blow
Keep
on, keeping on
Don't
wait for the wind to blow
There
was a lot things I never believe
Like
that I'd ever drown in the sea
I'm
not bitter I'd sail out again
If
I could
There
was a lot of things I never believe
Like
that I'd ever drown at sea
There
lived a man in control of his life who believed
To
die
