The World Goes On

Verse 1

When I was young

They told me, "This is how it goes"

Every night and every morning

Ain't it nice, ain't it strange?

The sun will set and then it rises

Verse 2

When I was young

Somebody told me, "This is how it goes"

Seasons come, seasons go

People born, people die this way

Everything on earth, it all comes back

This is just the way

Chorus

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

Verse 3

When I was young

Nobody told me, "This is how it goes"

I was scared, I was torn

Ain't it hard, ain't it cold this way?

When you're lost and when you're lonely

This is just the way

Chorus

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

Bridge

We got our friends, we got our family

We got the love, we got the memory

We got our dreams, we got our misery

This is the way, this is the way, yeah

We got our friends, we got our family

We got the love, we got the memory

We got our dreams, we got our misery

This is the way, this is the way

Chorus

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)

The world goes on (the world goes on)
