Lyrics
Keep Walking Tall
When the red comes out the blue
And the whistling stops
As seen on TV
When the dread, it fills you up
When reality bites
And the cookie crumbles
(You know that):
You need love
You need courage
You need your friends
For the wherewithal
To confront this
To overcome this
If you're gonna beat this
And keep walking tall
Keep walking tall
When the red comes out the blue
And hits the white
As happened to me
When the word, it leaves the lips
And drops a bombshell
That knocks you sideways
It's not payback time
For something you've done
Nor what you get in the end
for having too much fun
It's just bad luck
That's all
And if you're gonna beat it
You're gonna
...need fun
You need laughter
You need music
For the wherewithal
To confront this
To overcome this
If you're gonna beat this
And keep walking tall
Keep walking tall
