The beats were beating, and the ground was shaking
The rain was falling, and the earth was quaking
The earth had been dormant, but now it was awaking.
From time to time, life goes through changes
Things will stay the same until everything rearranges.
Those who survive must be able to react
          must be able to adjust
          roll with the punches
          do what they must
The purpose of life is to live until we die
          to struggle, to try
Generations will pass as the sun rises and falls
without justice, courage is weak
society is structured on the bases of laws
a more perfect world being the object we seek
And so the beat goes on
whether we feel it or not
the earth keeps revolving
for good or for naught.
The wheel in the sky keeps on turning
the fire in our heart keeps on burning
the desires in our soul keep on yearning
the young ones behind us keep on learning
things go up, things go down
one is a genius, the other is a clown
i'm made to feel like a fool
try as we may, our feelings will always rule
