From the cradle to the grave
Happiness is what we're searching for
But in fact all we gain
Is an endless chain of pain
Oh why, why don't we realize
Throughout your lives you shed more tears
Than there's water in the four oceans
In all those years your only chance
Is your faith, your love and devotion
Oh why, why don't we realize

On and on, right or wrong
The big wheel of life keeps on turning
What we do here and now
Will bear fruit in lives to come
Oh lord if only we came to see that
Just open your eyes and see
What's going on
And take the first step to be
Light and free
As free as you hoped to be
