On And On It Goes

River starts with a drop of rain somewhere in this world

Light years shape this arc of sky and sand, a precious pearl and

You will light a stranger's life by letting yours unfurled

Now on and on it goes, sparks upon the wind

Like the July of 4th the crown of stars and a good time grin

Now on and on it flies on a new bird's wing

In a beating heart, the moon light rolls and the gift of spring

You can say that you'll never matter lose or win

World won't care, and it's hard to bare such a lonely wind

But you can change a strangers life by letting yours begin

And on and on it goes, chances everywhere

Like the train you took and the rain that feel on the summer air

And on and on it flies like the time we've lost

It's either running out or covering all our dreams in rust

Every night the TV shows one more bad day's news

A world away from what I know and what I do

But I could save a stranger's life if I had a clue

And on and on it goes, attention must be paid

Before it seems we're once all shot and a second late

And on and on it flies across the stratosphere

At the speed of love, if you stop and feel it you will hear

On and on it goes, sparks upon the wind

Like the July of 4th the crown of stars and a good time grin

On and on it flies on a new bird's wing

In a beating heart, the moon light rolls and the gift of spring
