You gave him some good years Now you'd like them back Mistakes become clearer After the fact Now when you pick up the pieces But you can't make them fit Don't waste all your time Trying to make sense of it Just hurry back To the land of the living Things have changed Since you've been gone The world is turning In the land of the living Take a deep breath Life goes on, life goes on Come down from that dark cloud What's done is done Don't go down believin' You're the only one That ever felt heartache Turn to regret Oh, we've all got somethin' We'd like to forget, that's right Just hurry back To the land of the living Things have changed Since you've been gone The world is turning In the land of the living Take a deep breath Life goes on, life goes on Lean on my shoulder And whisper your tears We all need someone To echo our fears Oh, just hurry back To the land of the living Things have changed Since you've been gone The world is turning In the land of the living Take a deep breath Life goes on, life goes on In the land of the living The world is turning Life goes on In the land of the living The world is turning (The world is turning) Life goes on
