So Lord, I'll wait for your reply
But I won't hold my breath tonight
You're so much empty sky

And it's too late
The damage has been done
You gave a child a gun
Then turned around and run

And it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on
We were here long before
And we'll be here when you're gone
It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on

Believe it if you dare
Still he'll vanish in thin air
As useless as a prayer

And it's too late
The river has been crossed
The war's been fought and lost
Your words have turned to dust

And it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on
We were here long before
And we'll be here when you're gone
It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on

And you know you had your chance
And still you won't show your hand
It's not a thing that I call love

It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on
It goes on and on and on
You know that it goes on and on
