On and On
Yesterday's Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You try to act happy but it's hard to pretend.
When someone questions you
It always bothers you.
Could this be a not good thing
If you could look 5 years down the road
And understand now what you are going to know
Or maybe you could try to have a better time right now
Because no matter what, no matter what you do life goes
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
The times they ain't so great
Getting all bent out of shape is just a waste of time
Everything will always be ok
As long as you let it turn out that way
And try to relax your mind.
If you could look 5 years down the road
And understand now what you are going to know
Or maybe you could learn to settle down
Or maybe you could try to have a better time right now
Because no matter what, no matter what you do life goes
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
If you could look 5 years down the road
And understand now what you are going to know
Or maybe you could learn to settle down
Or maybe you could try to have a better time right now
Because no matter what, no matter what you do life goes
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
The lyrics of Yesterday's Kids's song "On and On" express a sentiment of trying to remain positive and optimistic despite the difficulties that arise in life. The opening lines describe a situation where something has gone wrong and the singer is struggling to keep up a façade of happiness.

The lyrics also encourage the listener to stay focused on the present moment, rather than worrying too much about the future. The repeated refrain of "If you could look 5 years down the road" suggests that the singer has been reflecting on their own life and trying to envision what the future might hold. However, the overall message is one of acceptance and letting go of worry. The lyrics advise us to "try to have a better time right now" and to "relax your mind" in order to appreciate the present moment.
Overall, the lyrics of "On and On" are a reminder to stay positive and keep moving forward, even when things might not be going as planned. The song encourages us to focus on the present moment and let go of worry about the future.

Take a step back and evaluate your current circumstances to plan ahead or improve your present, but ultimately life is a continuous cycle that goes on and on.

When times are tough, stressing out over the situation is futile. You should maintain a calm demeanor and trust that things will eventually work out for the best.

Thank you! ❤ I will try finding the book!
I'm Catholic, so although I don't believe in reincarnation, I do believe in miracles. . . I had a recurring dream where I lived in a tiny, Mediaeval village I'd never heard about anywhere else except in my dreams. I couldn't find anything about the village online, but I just somehow knew it was there.
So I went to our largest library, and finally I found it -- on an old Mediaeval map. It's not on more recent maps because it died out, during what I "remember" we called the mortality ("Black Death" is a much more recent name) which reached our village during Christmas-time of 1348.
And like Jenny was dreaming about parts of Mary's life, I was dreaming parts of the life of a woman who had lived in this little Mediaeval village; and just as Jenny and Mary were both 37, I was the same age as the woman whose life I was seeing in my own dreams.
I believe God can give us extraordinary dreams when need be, more like miracles. I'll never forget sitting there in the library archives (which my dad had got me admitted to) and feeling goosebumps as I saw this now-extinct little village where I dreamed I had attended midnight mass. . . and there it was, on this 12th century map.❤🙏🏽✝️
Have a blessed and merry Christmas, everyone! 🌲⛪️🎄

My mum and dad gave me up when I was just six months old. I was lucky that my aunt took me in and looked after me like her very own. She was more than a mother to me, giving me all the love any child could ever want. She and her son, the only brother I knew and loved, never let me feel the loss and neglect of my birth parents and siblings.
Its been years that I've lost them to death and yet I know, that somehow, somewhere, they are always out there watching over me like they always did.
The love I received from these angels God sent to love and nuture me has made me into a mother that I am to my two wonderful children and I always wish that God keeps me to watch over them, just like my angels did me.
This movie touched my heart so much because even death doesn't allow a mother to forget and let go of her children.
She is always there watching over them.

So, who else cried when Sonny arrived at the churchyard? What a beautiful story, well told and well acted by all.

Jenny Cockell is actually English. I have her book written long ago called YESTERDAY'S CHILDREN and just came across this. It is her story. Later in life she found her other lives too, one in Japan I believe. Seems her pineal gland never blocked and we all have the ability to do what Jenny did. Just stop using fluoride toothpaste and a few other things. Books about clearing the pineal gland are out there.

Thanks Dee, that's very interesting!

I totally agree! 🤗
The BIBLE in the Schools! (NOT the Religion)
@Dee Smart , ... whatever. There is one thing we MUST acquire during our LIFE: TO LEARN TO LOVE. No matter how many books we write/read, no matter how much experience we lived, LOVE is a must.
I asked God, and He told me, THIS is the reason we live: TO LEARN TO LOVE.
And I knew God is LOVE.
Such we must be like Him: to love the LORD, our Saviour, and love our neighbors as we do onto ourselves.
LOVE,

I lost my mother when I was twelve. My mother died in 1967 of ovarian cancer after being sick a long time. There were 8 of us, the baby was 5. My father was a marine in the South Pacific and had so many demons of his own. This movie brought back many of my own memories and reminded me again, that no matter how old we are, we always miss our mother. God has blessed us, though and kept my siblings close. We have each other and faith that we will see our mother again.
