Life Goes On

Life goes on

When all’s a mess and tragically wrong

And we long

For the blessing of a kiss in the dawn

Life goes on

There’s a glow

Flowing through the cracks and holes

And it shows

Where our nervous next steps go

And so we roll

Lost in the night

Waiting for the tumble of the dice

Every chance

Is a risk with its very own price

Where will you be when the hammer comes down

On the game you play?

Where will you be once you see that there is

No game?

There’s a prayer

Whispered in the hiss of the rain

Everywhere

The blood of the world makes a stain

And we remain

You’re alone

Rolling down a crooked weird road

And your load

Is all that you can ever hope to hold

On your own

What does it take

To shake off all the weight you don’t own?

It’s getting late

And you’re aching from the load of those stones

Once you are free you can be exactly

Just who you are

But now all you see is the gleam of a cold

Far star

Life goes on

When all’s a mess and tragically wrong

And we long

For the blessing of a kiss in the dawn

Life goes on
