Stay the Course


By Mark Merritt, Earl Musick & Roy Robinson


You say you don't have much to show
I see something you don't know.
You're sitting on a gold mine if you don't blow it.

You sit staring down the road
It's open road you know,
Laying in wait for some crazy poet.

Go tell it on the mountain if you can
Tell every woman, child and man.
And having faith 'til you understand it.

Don't worry about the milk you spilled
You'll find out it's no big deal.
Hey, they're gonna love it they just don't know it yet.

(Chorus)
Pay attention to the stars and moon
They will tell you when to sleep.
They may change your tide and tune,
Nothing worth having will come cheap.

Stay the course and man the guns
Give them the business, you keep the fun.
You're only enemy is your imagination.

You can't lose if you stay you,
Putting up with what you're living through
While gaining strength from each rejection.

(Chorus)

Make some waves and raise some hell.
Do what you've always done so well.
Now's not the time for a voice of reason.

Tune it up and hit the stage
They'll make you the next big rage.
Never let them know that you're only teasing.

(Chorus)

Don't beat yourself up and don't buy into the scheme
You'll find the rainbow's end is never what it seems.
Don't beat yourself up and don't buy into the scheme
You'll find the rainbow's end is never what it seems.
