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
