The Story Goes On (from Baby)

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 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
