Ain't no miracle being born
People doin' it everyday
Ain't no miracle growin' up
People just grow that way

So it goes like it goes, like the river flows
And time it rolls right on
And maybe what's good gets a little bit better
And maybe what's bad gets gone

Bless the child of a workin' man
He knows too soon who he is
Bless the hands of a workin' man
He knows his soul is his

So it goes like it goes, like the river flows
And time it rolls right on
And maybe what's good gets a little bit better
And maybe what's bad gets gone

So it goes like it goes, like the river flows
And time keeps rollin' on
And maybe what's good gets a little bit better
And maybe what's bad gets gone
