Mary Chapin Carpenter - On And On It Goes Lyrics
River starts with a drop of rainSomewhere in this worldLight years shape this arc of skyAnd sand a precious pearlAnd yuou will light a stranger's lifeBy letting yours unfurlAnd on and on it goesSparks upon the windLike a July 4th, a crown of starsAnd a good time grinOn and on it flies, on a new bird's wingIn a beating heart, the moon that roseAnd the gif of springYou can say that you'll never matterLose or winThe world won't care and it's hard to bearSuch a lonely windBut you can change a stranger's lifeBy letting yours beginAnd on and on it goesChance is everywhereLike the train you tookThe rain that fell on the summer airOn and on it flies, like the time we've lostIt's either running outOr covering all our dreams in trustEvery night the TV showsOne more bad day's newsA world away from what I knowAnd what I doBut I could save a stranger's lifeIf I had a clueAnd on and on it goesAttention must be paidBefore it seems we're one soul shortAnd a second lateOn and on it flies across the stratosphereAt the speed of love, if you stopAnd feel it you will hearOn and on it goesSparks upon the windLike a July 4th, a crown of starsAnd a good time grinAnd on and on it flies, on a new bird's wingIn a beating heart, the moon that roseAnd the gift of spring
