Working in a little ice-cream factory
Breathing the air in your small town
And the sun sets down on you now

Fifteen, twenty or thirty people
Are walking on the street together and singing songs
And the season changes, there will be new roses

Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too

Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too

They've bombed the buildings and they have killed
You are a pregnant twenty-two year old girl left in tears
But your heart is full of hope

Looking in your eyes holding his daughter in his arms
After a year he's back
And the war was over, you were still together

And life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too

Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too

Twenty-four years now have gone by
And it's your time to walk your way
You're a dreamer, you're a rebel

And you will suffer and you will fight
And you will sacrifice yourself
But you believed in love

Funny how your man will betray you
And in the meantime your love will save you, see

Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too

Life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you too

Life goes on, goes on
Life goes on, life goes on
