I've seen a wind torn sky   And I've felt the river cry   And I've seen the old ones have their say      I've known the constitution   And I've seen a revolution   And I've seen the birds all fly away      I've climbed in the back and I've hung from the rack   And I've died more than once on the way   And I've sat there in awe and I've seen myself fall   And I've felt the full light of the day      All my life going by   All my life going by   My life going by      I've read confusing fiction   And lived a contradiction   And I've wondered where on earth I've been      I've known a love forever   A truth I couldn't sever   A chord that flows as free as wind      I've stood on the mountain and drank from the fountain   And poured it all out on the floor   Turned my back to the glory and walked the tenth storey   And come back to knock on your door      All my life going by   All my life going by   My life going by   (Oh oh oh oh)   My life going by   (My life going)   My life going by   (Oh oh oh oh)   My life going by   (My life going)   My life going by going by
