Greg Harper Music - THE STREAM OF LIFE

THE STREAM OF LIFE

She started in the post room
Just after leaving school
Worked hard she worked well
And moved to the investment pool
A few years grit and promotion clicked
She got her audit position
Proud as punch for a couple of months
'til redundancy was the company's mission

The stream keeps flowing
The wind keeps blowing
The oceans roll to the shore
Compared to this beauty
What does any of this matter anymore

He worked hard put his money away
Just like he'd been taught in his younger days
Saved it all up to put down on a house
Sold his flat had a kid and moved in with the spouse
He worked all hours that god sent along
His wife became restless things went wrong
He had to move out back on his own
Lost his wife lost his kid and his savings were gone

The stream keeps flowing
The wind keeps blowing
The oceans roll to the shore
Money's one thing work is another
But life is what living's for

Now it seems to me that things go on
Well I had a wife now my wife's gone
I've got a good job and I get good pay
But the mortgage payments take it all away
You never know what comes around
One moment you're up the next you're down
One thing I've learned you've got to get up
No-one cares about you when you're down on your luck

The stream keeps flowing
The wind keeps blowing
The oceans roll to the shore
Sometimes something else opens
With the closing of a door

I bought a ticket and went for a ride
Across the world to the other side
I saw the mountains I saw the trees
I sailed the ocean and felt the breeze
However bad it might seem to you
Sooner or later you're gonna pull through
Like the ebb of the tide and the wane of the moon
The stream of life keeps flowing on

The stream keeps flowing
The wind keeps blowing
The oceans roll to the shore
I've seen this beauty for myself
And know it's worth living for

The stream of life keeps flowing on
The stream of life keeps flowing on
The stream of life keeps flowing on
