Lyrics
On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look at the sky the sun is rising
With another day
Look at the sky the sun is rising
With another day to lay at our feet
What will we do and what will we see
Are the questions that keep us intrigued
Look at the world of possibilities
What happens now and where will we go
And theres a kind of freedom in knowing
Its a little beyond our control
That life keeps moving
On
People laugh, markets crash,
Someone takes a photograph
The mail arrives, babies cry
Someone tries suicide
A building burns, a crime occurs,
Tankers sink, satellites blink
People shop, traffic stops,
But life keeps moving
On
Look at sky, the new horizon
Look at the changes it will involve
Someone will die, a country may fall
But the world will continue to roll
Life keeps moving
On
