Song Description

This is is a song about getting on.

Lyrics

I woke up in the morning
with a feeling of dark warning,
An existential cloud around my head
But before I fell to sadness,
I remembered what my dad said:
If you don't know, go straight ahead

Go nowhere, but straight ahead, (he said to me).
Drop the bow line, fix your cap and get out the lead.
When you think you're going nowhere, get up on your feet.
Go nowhere, but straight ahead

There's so much temptation to stew in situations
That you know, you should leave, ASAP
But don't just look at your shoes, when you've got the blues.
Use them to stride and be free

Chorus

Instrumental

So, let's stand up together and laugh back at the weather
Whether metaphoric or real
And before we give in to cynicism, have faith in ancient wisdom,
Go nowhere, but straight ahead


Chorus
