All We Can Do

What is there to do when all hope seems lost

When you’re standing in the wreckage and counting that cost

When the mist starts rising and conceals your view

When you’re standing at the crossroads with no idea what to do

And all we can do is just keep on keeping on

And ride that rolling stone

All that’s left for you is to keep on walking on

Until you make it home

What more can you do

But ignore the smoking gun

To dream on and sleep alone

Until the day is surely done

Until somebody drops the bomb

The road is long and the end often unclear

We step into each new day armed with hope or fear

It feels like we’re alone, but there must be

Others in that same boat, rowing desperately, yeah yeah

And all we can do is to keep on keeping on

And ride that rolling stone

All that’s left for you is to keep on walking on

Until you make it home

What more can you do

But ignore that smoking gun

To dream on and sleep alone

Until the day is surely done

Till somebody drops the bomb

All I know smells of cheap perfume

And I’m always standing on the fringe of rooms

The rain keeps falling on my aching head

Some days all I feel is the weight of lead

Is there something else instead, yeah yeah

The story’s just beginning, the heroes are yet to win

The fight has barely started, still we don’t know how to begin

Is the writing on the wall, has it even been written yet?

Cos some days you live to remember

Other days you’d just die to forget, yeah

All we can do is to keep on keeping on

And ride that rolling stone

All that’s left for you is to keep on walking on

Until you make it home

What more can you do

But ignore that smoking gun

To dream on and sleep alone

Until the day is surely done

Until somebody drops the bomb

Walk on, make it home

Dream on, sleep alone

Until the day is surely done
