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
