The Alan Parsons Project - What Goes Up...

Lead Vocal: David Paton



What goes up, must come down

What must rise, must fall

And what goes on in your life

Is writing on the wall

If all things must fall

Why build a miracle at all

If all things must pass

Even a miracle won't last

What goes up, must come down

What must stand alone?

And what goes on, in your mind

Is turning into stone

If all things must fall

Why build a miracle at all

If all things must pass

Even a pyramid won't last



How can you be so sure?

How do you know what the earth will endure?

How can you be so sure?

That the wonders you've made in you life

Will be seen

By the millions who'll follow to visit the site

Of your dream?



What goes up, must come down

What goes round, must come round

What's been lost, must be found
