"Life Goes On" is a song by American glam metal band Poison.

The power ballad[3] was the fourth single from their 1990 album Flesh & Blood.

DeVille originally brought the song to the band, where Rikki Rockett and Bobby Dall added their input.

The lyrics were written after a girlfriend of DeVille's was shot and killed in a bar fight in Palm Springs, California.

The song is about trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
