The Story Goes On (Baby)

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
