Lyrics

"How small, of all that human hearts endure
That part which laws or kings can cause or cure!
Still to ourselves in every place consigned,
Our own felicity we make or find:"
- Samuel Johnson (1709-1784); Lines added to Oliver Goldsmith's (1730-1774) The Traveller, 1764

You sit and wonder lonely in the night
But you can't seem to make up your mind
There ain't no way to leave all the worry behind
Callin' out for lady luck
She just lets you down
Try to take her as she comes
Hang on: turn it around

[Chorus]

On and on it goes
Where it stops nobody knows
On and on it goes
'Round and around and it won't slow down

Is this the right place-the right time?
Nobody gives guarantees
How can you tell the sound of opportunity?
Comin' down to the moment of truth
One word could make it right
I wonder if you feel it too
Hey, maybe we're gonna get lucky tonight

[Chorus]

You're not the only one in the world
That can feel something's wrong
A broken heart, another lonely night
Still we go on and on and on

[Chorus]

"They must upward still, and onward who
Would keep abreast of truth."
- The Present Crisis, 1844; James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)
