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
