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 endIt was such a tragedy
But that's the way it's got to be
Life goes onLife goes on, it happens every 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 thereGet 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, yeahNo use runnin' 'round lookin' scared
'Cause 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 itAnd one day when you are gone
You know that life will still go on
But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong
Life will still go on, yeahLife goes on and on and on
Life goes on and on and onMy 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 hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supplyNo 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 onTornado, 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 moreSomehow the people fight back
Even the future looks black
Life goes on and on and on
Life goes on and on and onLife goes on, it happens every 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
