The Show Must Go On
Queen Feat. Elton John Lyrics

Empty spaces, what are we living for
What is the purpose of our existence when there are so many voids in our lives?

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
We are aware of the emptiness around us and why we feel lonely

On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for
Despite our pursuit, we are unsure of what we truly seek

Another hero, another mindless crime
There is always another tragedy in our society and it's a feeling of disillusionment

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
We all hide behind a façade, trying to play our roles perfectly

Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
We have no more strength to endure the struggles of life

The show must go on
We must carry on despite the trials and tribulations

The show must go on, yeah
We need to persist in the face of hardships

Inside my heart is breaking
My soul is in anguish

My make-up may be flaking
My outer appearance may be failing me

But my smile still stays on
I try to stay positive despite the struggles I face

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
I will let fate decide the outcome of my life

Another heartache, another failed romance
Another instance of pain in a relationship comes and goes like a fleeting moment

On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
We still have no idea what motivates us to keep going despite the challenges life presents us

I guess I'm learning (I'm learning learning learning)
Maybe I'm slowly coming to understand how to live in this world

I must be warmer now
Perhaps I need to be more active and outgoing in the way I approach life

I'll soon be turning (turning turning turning)
There's a change of outlook that's about to take place

Round the corner now
Life might be taking a positive turn

Outside the dawn is breaking
The future might be brighter than we can see presently

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
But within myself, I still feel trapped and longing for deliverance

Ooh, inside my heart is breaking
My chest is throbbing with pain

My make-up may be flaking
My facades may be crumbling down

But my smile still stays on
But I'll keep up the appearance of being fine

Yeah yeah, whoa wo oh oh
A sense of hopelessness

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
My spirit feels light and delicate like a butterfly

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
The stories that I used to tell to comfort myself will always remain

I can fly, my friends
I feel free like a bird, unrestricted by my circumstances

The show must go on (go on, go on, go on) yeah yeah
We must keep pushing forward regardless of what life throws at us

I'll face it with a grin
I'll meet the challenges that come my way with a smile

I'm never giving in
I refuse to give up despite how hard the situation may seem

On, with the show
Let's keep going, let's keep living

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I'll strive to achieve beyond my own expectations

I have to find the will to carry on
I need to look within myself and find the strength to persevere

On with the show
Let's keep moving forward, let's keep living the dramatic production that is life

The show, the show must go on
No matter what happens, we must keep going

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
We must persist, we must persevere, we must carry on, we must try again

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
We must try again, let's keep pushing forward, let's keep fighting

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
We must never give up, let's keep striving, let's keep living

Go on, go on
We have to keep going despite any and everything.
