Goals
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Don't let go.
Of a goal you know...
Can be reached.
If your mind don't drop to stop it.
Open locked doors.
Like you never did before.
And let nothing in your way,
To block your your goal.
Don't tell nobody where you're going,
When asked.
Then waste your time,
To talk about the past.
Don't even mention how the past gone.
Keep-a-stepping forward.
Moving on.
Don't you let go,
Of a goal you know...
Can be reached.
If you don't let someone stop it.
Can be reached.
When no obstacles will block it.
Keep your faith.
And your mind kept focused on your goal.
Keep faith.
On your goal you want so bad to behold.
Keep your faith.
Keep your faith.
Keep your faith!
