Life Goes On
Beccy Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
Beccy Cole's "Life Goes On" is a poignant reflection on the ups and downs of life. In the song, she recounts a conversation with a friend who is struggling with broken promises and shattered dreams. The friend reveals that she has come to accept that living with regret is something that comes naturally. However, as she turns to walk away, she tells Beccy that she is going to be all right because life is a fair and honest fight. She has learned that if you look beyond the clouds of grey, the pot of gold is just one rainbow away. The message of the song is clear: no matter what obstacles we face, we can always get up and keep going because life goes on.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this message with its repetition of "Life Goes On." It reminds us that life is full of both victories and defeats, but the important thing is to never give up. We need to roll with the punches and go against the grain when necessary. Sometimes our hard work pays off, and other times it's all in vain. But no matter what we endure, we can always rest assured that life goes on.
