Saw a friend the other day, I hadn't seen in quite a while   I remember when she used to smile   I listened to her story....broken promised and shatered dreams   Told me things ain't always what they seem   When I gave her my sympathy she said living with regret is something   that comes naturally      CHORUS: Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches   Sometimes you go against the grain   Sometimes your hard work pays off   Sometimes it's all in vain   But no matter what you endure, rest assured   Life goes on......Life Goes On      As she turned to walk away, said girl I'm going to be all right   Life is just a fair and honest fight   I learned a brand new lesson   If you look beyond the clouds of grey,    the pot of gold is one rainbow away   It's just a matter...of moving on   Don't get caught up in the endless battle proving right from wrong      CHORUS: Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches   Sometimes you go against the grain   Sometimes your hard work pays off   Sometimes it's all in vain   But no matter what you endure.....rest assured   Life Goes On......Life goes on      Every smile is   And the sound of laughter echos like a symphony   CHORUS
