So Lord, I’ll wait for your reply But I won’t hold my breath tonight You’re so much empty sky
And it’s too late The damage has been done You gave a child a gun Then turned around and run
And it goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on You know that it goes on We were here long before And we’ll be here when you’re gone It goes on and on and on You know that it goes on
Believe it if you dare Still he’ll vanish in thin air As useless as a prayer
And it’s too late The river has been crossed The war’s been fought and lost Your words have turned to dust
And it goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on You know that it goes on We were here long before And we’ll be here when you’re gone It goes on and on and on You know that it goes on
And you know you had your chance And still you won’t show your hand It’s not a thing that I call love
It goes on and on and on You know that it goes on It goes on and on and on You know that it goes on and on
