Mama prays her baby grows up big and strong - oh yeah
Somewhere else a heart has stopped, but life goes on - oh yeah

[Chorus]
Life goes on and on, life is transition
Life goes on, life goes, life in transition
Life goes on and on, life is transition
Life goes on, life goes (on)

Papa tells his children don't you be afraid - oh no
Just mind your business, go on living every day - oh yeah
Because -

[Chorus]

Ohhh...

(Life goes on, life goes on - life goes on)

[Chorus]

Ohhh...
Life goes on yeah, don't you worry - life goes on, baby
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, yeah, life goes on - life goes on
Mama prays her baby grows up strong - life goes on, life goes on
Somewhere else a heart has stopped - life goes on, life goes on

Life goes on and on and on and on, on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
Life goes on and on and on and on, on and on and on and on
Oh, life goes on
Life goes on, and on oh yeah, life goes on and on
Life goes on, oh yeah, don't you worry...
