When trials stone
Will you think straight?
When you were young,
In the dark, weren't you afraid?
Did you play? in the showered rain
Did you play all day,
Did your clothes have muddy stains
But now you're on your own, you think you own the world
But now you're all grown up, you try to use the big words
You try to solve it all because you think you can
The less you know, the more you understand and think that

Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (think of that)
Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (now think of that)

When times have changed
You changed too
When dies straights come
Come to straight at you
When fear sets in, how do you react
When you're ask why? will you answer back?
But now you're on your own, you think you own the world
But now you're all grown up, you try to use the big words
You try to solve it all because you think you can
The less you know, the more you understand and that

Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (think of that)
Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye

When things are rushed, how'd you satisfy?
When hearts are crushed, do you feel the pain inside?
When you feel down, do you get the blues
When you play around, do you win or lose?
But now you're on your own, you think you own the world
But now you're all grown up, you try to use the big words
You try to solve it all because you think you can
The less you know, the more you understand and think that

Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (think of that)
Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (now think of that)

When you play around, do you win or lose?
But now you're on your own, you think you own the world
But now you're all grown up, you try to use the big words
You try to solve it all because you think you can
The less you know, the more you understand that

Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (think of that)
Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (for you and I)
Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (for you and I)
Life goes by,
Life goes by
In just a blink of an eye (for you and I)
Life goes by,
Life goes by,
Life goes by,
Life goes by,
Till fade
