Listen here: Going On

Written by Ann, and performed by MJ, to the tune “Home” by Chris Daughtry

I’m heading out into the Night,
Trying to see this through.
Walk calmly into death’s cold arms
So others can begin their lives anew
And the fear I feel won’t stop what I gotta do.

Well, I’m going on,
Back to the shelter of their arms,
And where their love has always been waiting for me.
I’m not running from
No, my mission has been laid out
I don’t regret this path life chose for me,
And my mother and my father are waiting there,
So I’m going on
Well, I’m going on

The steps are getting harder it seems,
The closer I get to death.
I know how much I wanna see them just once more
But could I go out the door
I turn my face away
To carry out my task I cannot stay.

Well, I’m going on,
Back to the shelter of their arms,
And where their love has always been waiting for me.
I’m not running from
No, my mission has been laid out
I don’t regret this path life chose for me,
I see Padfoot and old Moony both greeting me.

It opens at the close now,
And it brings them to my side
The ones I need to see
They’ve come to fetch me home
You’ve been so brave she tells me
Nearly there he says to me,
We’re so proud of you, yeah.

Well, I’m going on,
Back to the shelter of their arms,
And where their love has always been waiting for me.
I’m not running from
No, my mission has been laid out
I don’t regret this path life chose for me,
As I look into his face, my blood runs cold
But the visions of my loved ones still burn bold
And I’m going on,
I’m going on.
