[Em]
River [G] starts with a drop of rain somewhere in this [Em] world
Light [G] years shape this arc of sky and [C] sand a precious pearl
[D] You will light a [G] stranger's life by letting yours unfurl
[C] On [D] and on [G] it goes
Sparks [C] upon the wind
[D] Like the July 4th the [G] crown of stars and [C] of the time green
On [D] and on it [G] flies
On [C] a new bird's wing
In [D] a beating heart the [G] room that rolls and [C] the gift of spring
[D] You [G] can say that you'll never matter lose or [Em]
win
The [D] world won't [G] care.
It's hard to bear [C] such a lonely wind
[D]
You can change a [G] stranger's life by [Em] letting yours begin [C] and [D]
on and on it goes
[G]
Chances [C] everywhere
Like the [D] train you took [G] rain that fell on the [C] summer air
And on [D] and on it flies
[G] Like the [C] time we've lost
It's either [D] running out
[G] Covering all our [C] dreams in rub

[D] Every [G] night the TV shows one more [C] bad days new
World [G] away from what I know [Em] and what I do
But [D]
I could save [G] a stranger's life if I had [C] a clue
On and [D] on it goes
[G]
Attention [C] must be paid
[D] Before it seems [G] we're one soul short and a [C] second late
[Am]
and [D] on and on it flies
[G] Across [C] the stratosphere
At the [D] speed of love if you [G] stop and feel it [C] you will hear
On [D] and on [G] it goes
Sparks [C] upon the wind
[D] Like a July 4th the [G] crown of stars and [C] a good time
On [D] and on it [G] flies
On a new [C] birds wing
In [D] a beating heart the [G] moon that rolls and [C] the gift of spring
