It Comes and It Goes Lyrics

One step at a time

Taking life with care and to plan

But some things only come around once

Gotta enjoy em while you can

Nice to keep your eyes open

As changes happen faster than thought

Like children that grow up

Whether you're there to see it or not

There's a brief special window; a chance

To see it open and close

As the fleeting transformation evolves

It comes and it goes

Always in a state of unhappiness

Your situation and hopeless fate

Forlorn with your own appearance

And your meager financial state

Always thinking that tomorrow

Life will get better than this day you've got

Till you look back and realize

Things were not as bad then as you thought

It's all a matter of perspective

To a future that nobody knows

This journey

This place marker in your life

It comes and it goes

Sometimes there's a defining moment

Put before us to step up and to carry it through

And we either rise to the occasion

Or we regret what we didn't do

Whether we failed or succeeded

Either way we're prone to learn then

Reminds us on how we will act

If and when the situation comes around again

Our lives are shaped and reshaped

Dealing with the

Many highs and lows

As we press on

Through the slipstream of time

It comes and it goes
