The Beat Goes On

The snows melt to welcome the spring

Blossoms dance and robins sing

Here someone is dying, there a child is born

And so the beat goes on………….


Childhood’s dreams give way to youth

Yesterday’s lies are today’s truths

Here it is dusk, there it is dawn

And so the beat goes on……………


Autumn’s leaves are on the ground

The trees are bare and the birds are gone

Here the gloom is settling, there the mist is rising

And so the beat goes on…………


And thus life trudges drearily on

The eyes are weary and the heart forlorn

Somewhere someone is crying, somewhere someone is laughing

And so the beat………………
