A friend of mine just had a real bad time.
|
You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind.
|
His girl ran off along with his best friend,
|
And through emotional stress he brought his life to an end.
|
It was such a tragedy,
|
But that's the way it's got to be.
|
Life goes on.
|
|
Life goes on.
|
It happens ev'ry day.
|
So appreciate what you got
|
Before it's taken away.
|
Life will hit you
|
When you're unprepared,
|
So be grateful and take all
|
That you can while you're there.
|
Get that frown off your head,
|
'Cause you're a long time dead.
|
Life goes on and on and on.
|
Life goes on and on and on.
|
|
No use runnin' 'round lookin' scared,
|
Life could get you when you're unaware.
|
One day it's gonna come, so you better accept it.
|
Life will hit you when you least expect it.
|
And one day when you are gone,
|
You know that life will still go on.
|
But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong.
|
Life will still go on.
|
|
My bank went broke and my well ran dry.
|
It was almost enough to contemplate suicide.
|
I turned on the gas, but I soon realized
|
I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply.
|
No matter how I try, it seems I'm too young to die.
|
Life goes on and on and on.
|
Life goes on and on and on.
|
|
Tornado, cyclone and hurricane
|
Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain.
|
Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore,
|
But the people recover and come back for more.
|
Somehow the people fight back, even the future looks black.
|
Life goes on and on and on.
|
Life goes on and on and on.
