Life Goes On

(album: Unsolicited Material - 2008)

Jimmy walks into his office
Another long day ahead
He finishes his third cup of coffee
But still he can't clear his head
He's thinking about the mortgage
And the college fund
And he just can't afford to come undone

But all the while, the world keeps on turning
And time will wait for no-one
Life goes on

Jenny's got her evening class
As soon as she gets off work
She's studied half the night
She knows she needs to pass
If she hopes to quit this job
Working as a clerk

But there are times she feels
She's in a losing race
Trying to earn her keep
Trying to find her place

But all the while, the world keeps on turning
And time will wait for no-one
Life goes on
Life goes on

There's something deep inside when the going gets grim
That's keeping our spirit alive
But in this crazy world it's sink or swim
Only the strong survive

Life goes on
You better hold on

But all the while, the world keeps on turning
And time will wait for no-one
'cause life goes on
Life goes on

You better hold on now
Life goes on
Whether you do right or wrong
Life goes on
So you gotta stay strong
Believe me
You know life goes on
You know, you can dwell on it or carry on now
Life goes on
You better hang on now
I said life goes on
It just goes on
