Like A Stream

Like a stream, life flows on
Time with its wings carries us along
Sometimes the journey seems so calm
Yet in an instant the current gets strong

What do you do when you're swept away?
When you pass a point you wish you could stay?
When the sunshine seems to leave the day?
If words simply fail, what can you say?

Like a stream, life flows on
I've gained so much yet something's gone
Saddening lyrics in a happy song
Tried to do right, but everything's wrong

What do you do when you lose all hope?
When you've tried so hard and you're still a dope?
Do you stand up tall, or give in and mope?
When you've hurt the one that you love the most?

Like a stream, my tears flow on
Even when happy they're there all along
I try my best to keep myself calm
It's just so hard with a love so strong

What can I do when she's so far away?
When we're drifting apart and I want her to stay?
When I think of her hours and hours each day?
I feel like I hurt her, the more I try to say

Like a stream, my tears flow on
I sit and wonder if all hope's gone
But ignoring the lyrics, I hear the song
I'll seek the right among the wrong
And like a stream, my love will flow on
...and on...
...and on...
...and on...
