Lyrics
LIFE GOES ON (LIKE A WHEEL)
By Dal Sanders & Lou Simmons
1. Facing down the milestones, running from the ghosts
Settling for this or that not what you want the most.
Searching for the wonder you remember as a child.
Revealing hidden blunders you stumble for a while.
CHORUS
And life goes on
Like a wheel that rolls
And you change your mind
When they move the goals
You just can't win
When you've sold your soul
Still life goes on
Like a wheel that rolls.
2. Daylight beats you to bed too many nights in a row.
You try to get your mind to rest but you feel like you should go.
It's will power and caffeine?that gets you through the day.
You're holding things together hoping for a better way.
CHORUS
And life goes on
Like a wheel that rolls
And the things you fear
Are going to take their toll
You have to make diamonds
From the lumps of coal
Because life goes on
Like a wheel that rolls.
BRIDGE
Sometimes you're racing out of control
And you seem to pick up speed
You might not get the things you want
But you receive the things you need.
CHORUS
And life goes on
Like a wheel that rolls
And you change your mind
When they move the goals
You just can't win
When you?ve sold your soul
Still Life goes on
Like a wheel that rolls.
