Mary Chapin Carpenter lyrics : "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 yuou will light a stranger's life
By letting yours unfurl

And on and on it goes
Sparks upon the wind
Like a July 4th, a 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 that rose

And the gif of spring

You can say that you'll never matter

Lose or win
The world won't care and it's hard to bear
Such a lonely wind

But you can change a stranger's life
By letting yours begin
And on and on it goes

Chance is everywhere
Like the train you took
The rain that fell on the summer air

On and on it flies, like the time we've lost
It's either running out
Or covering all our dreams in trust


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 one soul short
And a second late
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 a July 4th, a crown of stars
And a good time grin

And on and on it flies, on a new bird's wing
In a beating heart, the moon that rose
And the gift of spring
