I've seen a wind torn sky
And I've felt the river cry
And I've seen the old ones have their say

I've known the constitution
And I've seen a revolution
And I've seen the birds all fly away

I've climbed in the back and I've hung from the rack
And I've died more than once on the way
And I've sat there in awe and I've seen myself fall
And I've felt the full light of the day

Ohh... my life going by
Ohh... my life going by
My life going by

I've read confusing fiction
And lived a contradiction
And I've wondered where on earth I've been

I've known a love forever
A truth I couldn't sever
A chord that flows as free as wind

I've stood on the mountain and drank from the fountain
And poured it all out on the floor
Turned my back to the glory and walked the tenth story
And come back to knock on your door
Ohh... my life going by
Ohh... my life going on
My life going...
Ohh... my life going by
My life going...
Ohh... my life going by
My life going by
