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
