So this is the tale my mother told me
That tale that was much to 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 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 see 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 see 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
