What Goes Up... Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

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 end will endure? 

How can you be so sure 

That the wonders you've made in your 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
