[Verse 1] 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 strangers life by letting yours unfurl [Chorus] 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 birds wing In a beating heart, the moon that rose and the gift of spring [Verse 2] You can say that youll never matter lose or win The world wont care, and its hard to bear such a lonely wind But you can change a strangers life by letting yours begin [Chorus] And on and on it goes, chances everywhere Like the train you took and the rain that fell on the summer air And on and on it flies like the time weve lost Its either running out or covering all our dreams in rust [Verse 3] Every night the TV shows one more bad days news A world away from what I know and what I do But I could save a strangers life if I had a clue See Mary Chapin Carpenter LiveGet tickets as low as 51You might also like[Chorus] And on and on it goes, attention must be paid Before it seems were one soul short 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 [Chorus] 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 birds wing In a beating heart, the moon that rose and the gift of spring
