When one life ends another begins
Oh god why must it be like this
Oh lord you bless us with a babe
A circle spinning never fades
Tears of joy a new life springs
Moments clash as loss still stings
Kneeling here with hearts so full
Day and night the push and pull
Oh the cycle keeps on turning
In every end new fires burning
Holding close while letting go
The river's flow forever knows
Cradle gently in our arms
A future bright with hidden charms
Yet shadows linger from the past
In memories our love will last
Stars above and earth below
Different paths yet all will show
An endless dance of dark and light
Through pain and joy we all unite
Oh the cycle keeps on turning
In every end new fires burning
Holding close while letting go
The river's flow forever knows
