Strive on in front and leave the past behind
My old life is gone, and the future is blind
I turn my head and start to cry,
As I regretfully say goodbye
To something that was dear to me

But memories will fade
And new ones will be made
So on this journey
I look ahead to see

Life goes on, and in its place
Will be a new adventure to come and face
Hold a smile for the new day to see
Even though along the way I may be missing somebody

Like a stream brings change with the ripples on its surface
And just like a river, life rushes fast with a purpose

Water  holds true to time, like sand
When held to your heart, it slips through your hands

Something I have learned, and you ought to know
In life things don't stay still, they flow
Change is inevitable, and the journey makes that true
The scenery changes..... and so do you

And from that please try to remember for your own sake
The secret to life is its a river, not a lake.
