There are times in your life 
When things don’t go the way you’d like 
And you become all too aware that nobody cares 
If you’re wrong or you’re right 
For what you need to get you by 
You’re getting wise to the ways of this life 

In light of all that’s gone before 
I can deal with almost anything 
But I’m gonna make ready ‘cos I think I know the score 
In light of all that’s gone before 

In retrospect you’ll understand 
You know it like the back of you hand 
And when you’re ready you will see 
That life’s a beach, but it’s made of quicksand 

In light of all that’s gone before 
I can deal with almost anything 
But I’m gonna make ready ‘cos I think I know the score 
In light of all that’s gone before 

In light of all that’s gone before 
I can deal with almost anything 
But I’m gonna make ready ‘cos I think I know the score 
In light of all that’s gone before 

In light of all that’s gone before 
In light of all that’s gone before 

In the light of it all 
In the light of all that’s gone before 
In the light of it all 
In the light of all that’s gone before 
In the light of it all
