Stankowski Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be just who you want to be, my friend
You just got to trust in fate.
Do the things you want to do ‘cause life don't wait
Take it easy, keep your head up high
No need for sorrow and despair
Just keep on moving, it's such a wonderous world out there

The years are flashing by and everything will change
But way down deep inside - we all just stay the same
And down below
Old memories come alive and then we know
Down below

It's a long road we all got to walk
But there's an awful lot to see
And the sun keeps rising up wherever you may be
Fly the ocean, dive into the blue
No need for sorrow and despair
Just keep moving, it's such a wonderous world out there

The years are flashing by and everything will change
But way down deep inside - we all just stay the same
And down below
Old memories come alive and then we know
Down below

The years are flashing by and everything will change
But way down deep inside - we all just stay the same
And down below




Old memories come alive and then we know
Down below
