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

But [D] I could save a [G] stranger's life if I [C] had a clue
on [D] and on it [G]
goes
Attention [C] must be paid
[D] Before it seems we're [G] one so short and [C] a second late
and on and [D] on it [G] flies
across [C] the stratosphere
At [D] the speed of love if [G] you stop and feel it [C] you will hear
[D] on and on it [G] goes
Sparks [C] upon the wind
[D] Like a July 4th [G] a crown of stars and a [C] good time
