    This song came out of the early 80's, I think, If not late 70's, I would think the early 80's, A male sung it, I know this song was popular and and have a fast beat and was more dance kinda, Here are some lyrics, Either: (Time)or(Sky) is the limit and you know the truth and you keep, keep on messin up.... I think he says over and over a few times and the voice is sort of computer sounded..I know there was a disco mixer 12 that had a peace of this song on it along with others like (I like what your doing to me) and (Ches Jankel-Please to meet you) and others I can't remember, I would also like to find that 12 disco mixer, It could be a bootleg mixer.....Please let me know info......Thanx....Adam

    It's D-Train for sure but I can't sing it far enough to get to the song title.
    I think it's Keep On.

    Wild guess: the first thing that came to me was "Walking on Sunshine" by Rocker's Revenge featuring Donnie Calvin (Streetwise/1982); mixed by Jellybean Benitez & Arthur Baker. The song was written and originally recorded by Eddy Grant.

    "Looking through the morning dew and smoky mountains loving you.....

    You're mine, you're mine, you're walking on sunshine.....
    I got to tell you that you're doin fine, walking on sunshine.....

    Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on, keep on walking on sunshine"...

    Am I in the ballpark?

    I think the 12" version of Walking On Sunshine had some "D-Train like" lines used like the bassline from You're The One For Me - I remember I used to mix those two together a few years ago.
    I'm pretty sure it's D-Train I'm just not sure which track. I'll check when I get home.

    OK, I'm listening to D Train's "Keep On" and in the midddle of the song they do sing the "Walking on Sunshine" part: "Sky is the limit and you know that keep on, just keep on pressin on, sky is the limit and you know that you can have what you want, be who you are".... (something like that)

    The chorus goes: "Keep keepin' on, ya gotta keep keepin' on"

    So I guess this is the song?
