Life Goes On
Beccy Cole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw a friend the other day, I hadn't seen in quite a while
I remember when she used to smile
I listened to her story....broken promised and shatered dreams
Told me things ain't always what they seem
When I gave her my sympathy she said living with regret is something
that comes naturally

CHORUS: Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches
Sometimes you go against the grain
Sometimes your hard work pays off
Sometimes it's all in vain
But no matter what you endure, rest assured
Life goes on......Life Goes On

As she turned to walk away, said girl I'm going to be all right
Life is just a fair and honest fight
I learned a brand new lesson
If you look beyond the clouds of grey,
the pot of gold is one rainbow away
It's just a matter...of moving on
Don't get caught up in the endless battle proving right from wrong

CHORUS: Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches
Sometimes you go against the grain
Sometimes your hard work pays off
Sometimes it's all in vain
But no matter what you endure.....rest assured
Life Goes On......Life goes on

Every smile is




And the sound of laughter echos like a symphony
CHORUS
