In times like these
In times like those
What will be, will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on
On and on it goes

And there has always been laughing
Crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts
That take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate 
And raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to time like these
And times like those
And what will be will be
And so it goes

And there will always be stop and go 
And fast and slow
Action, reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
Those for peace and those for war
And god bless these ones, not those ones
But these ones made times like these
And times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on
On and on it goes

But somehow I know
It won't be the same
Somehow I know 
It will never be the same
