on and on and on

the sun and the moon never change, they just rearrange, the night and the new day, gold exchanges for silver, and a light on a river gets carried away, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, i lift up my head and i wonder, just who it is calling, calling my name now, i trip on my way and i blunder, my head hiding under a blanket of shame, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, high and low may i go, but god only knows just where i am going, high and low may i go, but god only knows just where i am going, the people around me won't let me, become what i need to, they want me the same, i look at myself and i want to, just cover my eyes and give myself a new name, the stones in the sky never worry, they don't have to hurry, they move in their own way, but i have to choose what to do, how to act, what to think, how to talk, what to say, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
