Esta fue la primera canción interpretada por Jennifer Warnes ganadora del Óscar a la mejor canción original; posteriormente lo lograría en otras dos ocasiones: Up Where We Belong de Oficial y caballero (1982) y (I've Had) The Time of My Life de Dirty Dancing (1987), junto a Bill Medley.

Poco después de ganar el Óscar, la canción fue grabada por la cantante inglesa Dusty Springfield.

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^[2]​
