Verse 1] Clock ticks loud in a midnight street Shadows dancing, movin’ to the heat People cryin’, dreamin’ wide awake But no one’s listenin’—how much can we take? [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the world is turnin’ And the fire’s burnin’ We can’t rewind it, no, no Time won’t wait, gotta face the show [Chorus] Life is goin’ on (uh!) While we’re stuck in yesterday Keep movin’ strong (ow!) Don’t let the rhythm fade away They try to break you down, but you’re born to rise So sing it loud, look up to the sky Life is goin’ on — oh, yeah [Verse 2] News feeds lies in a golden cage Scrollin’ truth through a digital rage Kids grow fast but their hearts feel slow Gotta teach ’em love before they go [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it comin’? That thunder drummin’ In your soul, let it play Don’t look back, we’re alive today [Chorus] Life is goin’ on (heh!) Even when the nights are cold Stay in the zone (hee!) Gotta fight, gotta be bold They try to dim your spark, but you light the dawn No matter the dark, keep dancin’ on Life is goin’ on — ohhh [Bridge - Spoken + Ad-libs] (Hoo!) You feel that beat? It’s inside you — can’t nobody take it! They can try to stop your shine But this life, baby, it’s mine… and it’s movin’! [Breakdown - Funk beat, MJ-style ad-libs] Whoo! Life don’t pause — no remote control You better dance while the drums still roll Shamon! Hee-hee! [Final Chorus – Big vocal harmonies + layered synths] Life is goin’ on (life keeps rollin’ on) Feel the fire in your soul (don’t let go) The beat is strong (strong!) It’s the only truth we know They’ll try to break you down, but you’re made to fly So lift your voice, reach for the sky Life is goin’ on — yeah, yeah!
