Lyrics

LIFE GOES ON

Life goes on; beyond all loss; life goes on

Lost friends, lost loves
Lost sons and daughters, lost parents
Lost grandparents, lost sisters, lost brothers.
Lost pets, lost livestock, lost wildlife.
Lost crops, lost land, lost forests, lost parks.
Lost rivers, lost lakes, lost islands.

But life goes on; beyond all loss
Beyond the loss; life goes on.

Lost energy, lost mobility,
Lost ability, lost autonomy and memory
Lost assurance, lost confidence,
All feeling, lost gaiety, and looks.
Lost language, lost culture, lost freedom, lost voice.
Lost work, lost contacts,
Lost money, possessions and homes.
Lost power, lost authority,
Lost elections, arguments and wars.
Lost morality, lost fidelity,
Lost honesty, humility and hope.

But life goes on; beyond all loss
Beyond the loss; life goes on.
