You're feelin' bad,  
you need a friend 
it seems that night won't end  
doubts an' fears fill the air  
midnight shadows everywhere . . .  
  
Don't be afraid  
the dawn is near  
to help you face your fear  
you're not alone  
we're really all the same  
caught in the game of "life" we're playin' 
  
So it goes . . . if there's an answer  
then nobody knows  
love's always dancin' just ahead  
so hope is never dead somehow it grows 
  
So it goes . . . the sea of mystery  
it ebbs an' flows  
a priceless gift of old  
oh the magic of a simple rose  
that's life an' so it goes . . . 
  
When lonely times weigh on your mind  
and hopes are hard to find  
then use the good you've had before  
to help you face the world once more  
there's more in you than you can see  
if only you believe  
dream your dreams an' if they don't come true  
you'll still get along, that's life,  
just live it . . .  
  
So it goes . . . if there's an answer  
then nobody knows  
love's always dancin' just ahead  
so hope is never dead somehow it grows 
  
So it goes . . . the sea of mystery  
it ebbs an' flows  
a priceless gift of old  
oh the magic of a simple rose  
that's life an' so it goes . . .
