Lyrics
Life Goes On
by Tonya Leigh Showalter
v1: One young girl, in a strange new place,
Meets one boy- they meet face to face,
And soon become friends, then more and more.
Then they realize they're not "just friends" no more.
But now they're a pair, but they've got to shut the door.
ch: Life goes on, and you're heart sprouts wings.
Sometimes, it's blown down, it's an amazing thing,
But it will return, so don't regret ever setting it free,
It will always come back to you.
v2: "If you love something, gotta set it free.
If it comes back, it's yours, or it was never meant to be,"
A wise man once said, as he played out the line.
Try, and you'll see, he was right every time.
So, remember life goes on, and begin again to climb.
(repeat chorus)
Ending: One young girl, in a strange new place. Oh.
