Working in a little ice-cream factory
Breathing the air in your small town
And the sun sets down on you nowFifteen, twenty or thirty people
Are walking on the street together and singing songs
And the season changes, there will be new rosesLife goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you tooLife goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you tooThey've bombed the buildings and they have killed
You are a pregnant twenty-two year old girl left in tears
But your heart is full of hopeLooking in your eyes holding his daughter in his arms
After a year he's back
And the war was over, you were still togetherAnd life goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you tooLife goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you tooTwenty-four years now have gone by
And it's your time to walk your way
You're a dreamer, you're a rebelAnd you will suffer and you will fight
And you will sacrifice yourself
But you believed in loveFunny how your man will betray you
And in the meantime your love will save you, seeLife goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you tooLife goes on
Here and beyond that horizon
Goes on and it changes
And it changes you tooLife goes on, goes on
Life goes on, life goes on
