(david shire / norman gimbel)



Theme from "norma rae"



Ain't no miracle being born

People doin' it everyday

It ain't no miracle growing up, ah

People just grow that way



So it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time it rolls right on

And maybe what's good gets a little bit better

And maybe what's bad gets gone



Ah, bless the child of a working man

She knows too soon who she is

And bless the hands of a working man

Oh, he knows his soul is his



So it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time it rolls right on

And maybe what's good gets a little bit better

And maybe what's bad gets gone



So it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time keeps rolling right on, oh

And maybe what's good gets a little bit better

And maybe what's bad gets gone
