when we see the last dove flying
high across the mountains cross the trees
when we hear the dolphins crying
weeping when they are crusin' trough the sea's

atomic light instead of candlelight
light the night
and everything is alright
but we don't try to change anything
to start again for a new begin

this is the meaning of life
don't you know the way things go
this is the meaning of life
don't you know the way things go

when we see the last strong lion
dying on a desert sound in pain
rats are taking over cities
urban people leave as soon as they can

wars and games and burning aerplanes
rule the world
the time is passing by
but we don't try to change enything
to start again
for a new begin

this is the meaning of life
don't you know the way things go
this is the meaning of live
don't you know the way things go

this is the meaning of life
don't you know the way things go
this you know the of life
don't you know the way things go
