You're just too strong not to keep on keepin' on

I think why I write and paint and wake up every morning can be summarized in the lyrics of this song.
I hope to start writing music myself.

But I have always loved this song ever since I stole the Forest Gump soundtrack from my father. I just never understood why it resonates and forever resonates until now.

I'm just too strong NOT to keep on keepin on.

And so are YOU.

I'VE GOT TO USE MY IMAGINATION
(Goffin / Goldberg)

Gladys Knight & The Pips - 1973

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

Darkness all around me
Blackin out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just dont feel like talkin to anyone

Emptiness has found me
And it just wont let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I just don't know

Staring down reality
Dont do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood

Such a sad, sad season
When a good love dies.
Not a day goes by
When I dont realize

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone
