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 how 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 began upon the shore of some dark sea has reached to me
And now I can see the chain extending
My child is next in the line that has no ending
And here am I feeling 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 began upon the shore of some primordial sea has
Stretched through time to reached to me
And now I can see the chain extending
My child is next in the line that has no ending
And her 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
