Life Goes On

Build me up don't get me down

Weather the storm

Well, life goes on

Feelings ebb and flow by hour

You're up in the clouds

and than you sink like a stone

So do you feel yourself with pills

to deaden your ills

Or are you only one love short

of happiness

And in a picture on the wall

No glimmer of yourself at all

You've left yourself

Far away

Build me up, don't mop my brow

Weather the storm? No

Because life goes on

Missed my only hope right now

To soar like a bird

And not to sink like a stone

So do you feel yourself with pills

oh, to deaden your ills

Or are you only one love short

of happiness

And in a picture on the wall

No glimmer of yourself at all

You've left yourself

Far away

So do you feel yourself with pills

To cure you of your ills

Or are you only one love short

Of the happy days to come

And in a picture on the wall

can't see the face at all

So untie yourself

Because that's all you've got to do

And I can grow a pair of wings

And I can take up flying

There'll be no crying

Up in the air

Looking back down

And let me tell you, if I talk about gloom

I don't get out of feeling down

It strips you of yourself

And it splits you from the self

That you know
