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 thats the way its got to be. Life goes on. Life goes on. It happens evry day. So appreciate what you got Before its taken away. Life will hit you When youre unprepared, So be grateful and take all That you can while youre there. Get that frown off your head, cause youre 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 youre unaware. One day its 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 onell care if youve 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 hadnt settled my bill so they cut off my supply. No matter how I try, it seems Im 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.
