June 26th 1975, Miami, Florida was the place where I first arrived
My parents smiled as I opened up my blues eyes
'Cuz they was newly married and I was just their first child

My Pop's from Jersey, my Mom's from Miami
They met in the Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, New York City
At Art College and yup they was hippies
So I guess that makes me a child of the sixties

But anyway we didn't stay, we moved to Plant City
Then to Lakeland, then to Tampa, then to Ybor City
Living in the hood where things are never ever pretty
The only white kid smack dab in the inner city

My playground's a parkin' lot plus a back alley
At times, I would wake up in the dark with no electricity
On top of that we strugglin' 'cause we got no money
And goin' through all this inside, it's killin' me

On and on, on and on
(This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on
On and on
(This is behind the music)

Your love goes on and on
On and on
(This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on
On and on
(I'll take you'll behind the music)

I was about 6 when all this was goin' on
Things began to change, everythin' I knew was up and gone
They separated, on the weekends I would see my mom
Still livin' with my pops in the hood but not for too long

When I was nine they divorced and I was movin' on
To the suburbs with my mom 'cause the courts said it's wrong
For me to live in the hood with Dad, so I'm up and gone
Mom remarried and had a baby, we livin' in my grandma's home

We livin' in a neighborhood that's middle class
But I felt poor 'cause of some things I didn't have
And time passed, we moved out but things still ain't right
I'm slippin' fast at home, all I do is yell and fight

My grades start to crash, plus I ran away twice
And almost got shot by the cops one single night
I started high school and I just party all the time
But little did I know what was gonna happen to my life

On and on, on and on
(This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on
On and on

Your love goes on and on
On and on

Your love goes on and on

At 15, I had a talk with my cousin, got me thinkin'
Was there more to life than girls, partyin' and drinkin'?
Picked up his Bible and I started readin' Revelations
For some reason, I was cryin' when I reach the endin'

Now God was workin' on me and this is the beginnin'
The first time in a long while when I started prayin'
I had to move again and say goodbye to everyone
My dad and my friends once again was all up and gone

Brand new school by myself sittin' all alone
Feelin' like a fool every single day Iâ€~m comin' home
But I would listen every night in my bedroom
To Gospel Radio preach about Christ and just then soon

I gave my life to Him and everythin' became new
I was born again, I've never been the same dude
You took my sin and my guilt and let 'em blame You
And on and on though the years, You always came through

On and on, on and on
(This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on
On and on
(This is behind the music)

Your love goes on and on
On and on
(This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on
On and on
(I'll take you'll behind the music)

It was November and the year was 1995
I still remember the very first date with my wife
And I was on my own doin' shows part time
20 years old, just tryin' to make somethin' of my life

I moved away from home when I was only eighteen
Broke as a joke makin' music tryin' to chase a dream
And everybody seemed to think I'm crazy except for me
But God was there everytime to supply my needs

I went on staff at a church in the inner city
I'm writin' rhymes in my spare time for my CD
I mailed the demo to a label called Gotee
And out of nowhere Todd Collins up and called me

He said he heard my junk and plus he want to sign me
My heart jumped and plus I want to cry and scream
But all I did was hung up the phone quietly
And thanked God how He always provided for me

On and on, on and on
Your love goes on and on
On and on

Your love goes on and on
On and on
Your love goes on and on
On and on
