The World Still Goes Round

The times aren’t always good
The memories aren’t always happy
The kids don't always smile.
the lovers aren't always sappy

But the world still goes round
And this is still our life.

When their smile fades,
And they're gone for days.
Make them laugh when they’d rather cry
Make them smile when they’d rather die

When the skies go grey
And the people go away
When the nightmares become real
And the pain becomes too much to feel,
We dust ourselves off
And stand back up

Because the world still goes round
And this is still our life.
When their smile fades,
And they're gone for days.
Make them laugh when they'd rather cry.
Make them smile when they'd rather die.

Don't let them go
Don't be scared
Just because you don't know.
Let them know you cared.
Show them love
Show them support

Because the world still goes round
And this is still our life
