Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Straight ahead
Hey, let's go
Straight ahead
Straight ahead
Straight ahead
Come on
[Verse 2]
Straight ahead
Moving straight ahead
Keep moving straight ahead (Straight ahead)
Yeah
[Verse 3]
So you started from the bottom
But you always saw the light
And now you're ready for your journey
One direction reaching high
[Verse 4]
Keep the feeling of the spirit
Always present as you climb
One direction, one vibration
That's the message, let us try
[Verse 5]
Straight ahead
Keep moving, yeah
Moving straight ahead
Keep moving straight ahead (Straight ahead)
Yeah
[Verse 6]
Keep the feeling of the spirit
Always present as you climb
One direction, one vibration
That's the message, you can make it if you try
[Verse 7]
Keep moving straight ahead
Straight ahead
Moving straight ahead
Keep moving straight ahead (Straight ahead)
Oh, yeah
[Verse 8]
Let's go
Let's go
[Verse 9]
Keep the spirit high and your heart in love
Keep on movin'
Keep the spirit high and your heart in love
[Verse 10]
Keep your head above and your heart in love
Keep on movin'
Keep your head above and your heart in love
Keep your feelings now
[Verse 11]
Keep moving straight ahead
Straight ahead
Straight ahead
Keep moving straight ahead
