Life Goes On

Working in a little ice cream factory
Breathing the air in your small town
And the sun sets down on you now
Fifteen twenty or thirty people
Walking on the street
Together and singing songs
And the season changes
There will be new roses
Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too
Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too
They’ve bombed the buildings
And they have killed
You are a pregnant twenty-two year old girl
Left in tears
But your heart is full of hope
Looking in your eyes
Holding his daughter in his arms
After a year he’s back
And the war was over
You were still together
And life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too
Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too
Twenty-four years now have gone by
And it’s your time to walk your way
You’re a dreamer you’re a rebel
And you will suffer and you will fight
And you will sacrifice yourself
But you believed in love
Funny how your man will betray you
And in the meantime your love will save you
You see…
Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too
Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too
Life goes on
(goes on)
Life goes on
Life goes on
