Life Goes On

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 and bad, right or wrong Life will still go on, yeah Life goes on and on and on Life goes on and on and on My bank went broke and my well ran dry It was almost enough to contemplate suicide I turned on the gas, but then 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 if the future looks black Life goes on and on and on Life goes on and on and 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 unaware So be grateful and take all That you can while you're there Life goes on, life goes on Life goes on
