The Story Goes On
So  this, is the tale my mother told  me
That tale, that was much too dull to hold me
And this, is the surge and the rush
She said would show
Our story goes on

Oh I was young
I'd forgot that things outlive me
My goal, was the kick that life would give me
And now, like a joke
Something moves to let me know
Our story goes on

And all these things I feel and more
My mother's mother felt
And hers before
A chain of life begun
Upon the shore
Of some
Dark sea
Has reached
to me

And now, I can feel the chain extending
My child is next, in a line that has no ending
And here am I, full of life
That her child will feel
When I'm long gone
And thus it is, our story
Goes on
And on
And on
And on
And on and on
And on and on
And on

And all these things I feel and more
My mother's mother felt
And hers before
A chain of life begun
Upon the shore
Of some
Primordial sea
Has stretched through time
To reach to me

And now, I can feel the chain extending
My child is next, in a line that has no ending
And here am I, feeling life
That her child will feel
When I'm long gone
Yes, all that was is part of me
As I am part of what's to be
And thus it is, our story
Goes on
And on
And on
And on
And on
