The Allman Brothers Band
Nobody Knows
[Verse 1]
Nobody knows about what's going on
With the world and the steel
The flesh and the bone
River keeps flowing and the grass still grows
And the spirit keeps going, nobody knows
Poets they come and the poets they go
Politicians and preachers they all claim to know

[Chorus]
The words that are written and the melody's played
As the years turn their pages, they all start to fade
The oceans still move with the moon and the sky
The grass still grows on the hillside
Got to believe in believing
Got to believe in a dream
Freedom is ever deceiving
Never turning out to be what it seems

[Verse 1]
It's amazing how fast our lives go by
Like the flash of the lightning or the blink of an eye
We all fall in love, and we fall into life
We look for the truth on the edge of a knife
Heavens turn around the river still flows
Spirit keeps going, nobody knows
[Chorus]
Words that are written and melody's played
As the years turn their pages, it all start to fade
Oceans still move with the moon and the sky
The grass still grows on the hillside
Got to believe in believing
Got to believe in a dream
Freedom is ever deceiving
Never turning out to be what it seems
