In times like these
In times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on it goes
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

And there has always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to

Times like these
And times like those
And what will be will be
And so it goes

And there will always be stop and go and fast and slow
And action, reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
Those for peace and those for war
And god bless these ones, not those ones
But these ones made

Times like these
And times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on it goes
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
And somehow I know, it won't be the same
Somehow I know it'll never be the same
