Go On My Child
Embrace Your Light: Inspiring Message from Michelle Featherstone's 'Go On My Child'
Lyrics
Don't hang your head low 'cause I can't see your face
Encouragement to lift your head and show your face confidently.
In your reflection I see your beauty and grace
Even in your reflection, your beauty and grace are visible.
And when the light shines bright to show you your way do not be weary
When guidance appears, don't lose heart or become tired.
Don't turn your head away
Don't avoid or ignore what's shown to you.
So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes
Let critics observe you intensely, forming opinions.
And let their tongues do the judging and criticize
Allow them to judge and critique while you remain present.
And you just sit here before us and reveal your light
Show your inner light despite criticism.
Go on
Encouragement to continue.
Go on my child
Reinforcing the encouragement for perseverance.
Go on
Repeated encouragement to persist.
Go on my child
Continued reinforcement for moving forward.
Your soul is aching and it's dying to be heard
Your inner self longs to express itself.
This might be painful but consider the worth
Despite pain, consider the value in expressing yourself.
And when you feel like there's nobody on your side
When feeling alone, others will support you warmly.
They will embrace you with a radiant smile
People will greet you with acceptance and happiness.
So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes
Similar emphasis on critics observing you.
And let their tongues do the judging and criticize
Let them voice opinions while you remain steadfast.
And you just sit here before us and reveal your light
Continue to shine your inner light amidst judgment.
Go on
Repeated encouragement to carry on.
Go on my child
Reiteration of support and encouragement.
Go on
Continued reinforcement to persist.
Go on my child
Emphasizing the importance of moving forward.
So you want to give up and you can't find the strength
Even in weakness, belief in eventual success.
I believe that you will make it in the end
Confidence in your ability to succeed.
So you want to stare back and you want to retreat
Desire to retreat, countered by belief in your potential.
I believe that there ain't nothing you can't be
Assurance that there are no limits to what you can achieve.
Nothing you can't be
Reiteration of limitless possibilities.
Don't feel so naked
Feeling exposed countered by the presence of hope.
I am the blanket of hope
Assurance that your words provide support.
Your words are life rafts and they keep us afloat
Your expressions keep everyone afloat.
And when this long painful journey comes to an end
Belief that your journey's end will impact others.
They will be touched by the message
Others will be moved by the message you convey.
The message you've sent
Your message's impact will be felt.
So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes
Reiterating the scrutiny of critics.
And let their tongues do the judging and criticize
Letting critics express opinions while you remain resilient.
And you just sit here before us and reveal your light
Continuing to radiate your inner light despite criticism.
Go on
Encouragement to persist despite judgment.
Go on my child
Reinforcing the encouragement for perseverance.
Go on
Continued support and encouragement to continue.
Go on my child
Repeated reinforcement for moving forward.
Go on
Further encouragement to carry on.
Go on my child
Emphasizing the importance of moving forward.
Go on
Continued reinforcement to persist.
Go on my child
Reiteration of support and encouragement.
Go on
Final encouragement to continue despite challenges.
Go on my child
Reinforcing the importance of perseverance.
