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 is transition
Life goes on and on
Life is transition
Life goes on - life goes

Papa tells his children
Don't you be afraid, oh no
Just mind your business
Go on living every day, oh yeah

(repeat chorus)

Life goes on yeah, don't you worry
Life goes on...

Mama prays her baby
Grows up strong, 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
Oh oh oh...
