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 her round and round 



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 

You know that it goes on and on
