On Lyrics by Adrian Belew

Op Zop Too Wah

1996

Look at the sky the sun is rising
With another day

Look at the sky the sun is rising
With another day to lay at our feet
What will we do and what will we see
Are the questions that keep us intrigued

Look at the world of possibilities
What happens now and where will we go
And there's a kind of freedom in knowing
It's a little beyond our control
That life keeps moving
On

People laugh, markets crash
Someone takes a photograph
The mail arrives, a baby cries
Someone tries suicide

A building burns, a crime occurs
Tankers sink, satellites blink
People shop, traffic stops
But life keeps moving
On

Look at sky, the new horizon
Look at the changes it will involve
Someone will die, a country may fall
But the world will continue to roll
As life keeps moving
On

Life keeps moving
On

People laugh, markets crash
Someone takes a photograph
The mail arrives, a baby cries
Tankers sink, satellites blink
People shop, traffic stops
But life keeps moving
On

Someone takes a photograph
Look at the sky the sun is rising
But life keeps moving on
Life keeps moving
