You're feelin' bad, you need a friend it seems that night won't end doubts an' fears fill the air midnight shadows everywhere . . . Don't be afraid the dawn is near to help you face your fear you're not alone we're really all the same caught in the game of "life" we're playin' So it goes . . . if there's an answer then nobody knows love's always dancin' just ahead so hope is never dead somehow it grows So it goes . . . the sea of mystery it ebbs an' flows a priceless gift of old oh the magic of a simple rose that's life an' so it goes . . . When lonely times weigh on your mind and hopes are hard to find then use the good you've had before to help you face the world once more there's more in you than you can see if only you believe dream your dreams an' if they don't come true you'll still get along, that's life, just live it . . . So it goes . . . if there's an answer then nobody knows love's always dancin' just ahead so hope is never dead somehow it grows So it goes . . . the sea of mystery it ebbs an' flows a priceless gift of old oh the magic of a simple rose that's life an' so it goes . . . < instrumental to fade >
