lyrics

Have you heard about the Short-finned Eel?
How it travels from the river to the sea?
Many thousand miles later, the eel must spawn
And the journey it begins again

The journey of life it goes ‘round and ‘round
The journey of life goes ‘round
The journey of life makes a beautiful sound
Doesn’t even end if you die

I live up the creek from the falls
Where the baby sort-finned eel must climb
Up that old blue stone to some fresh-water home
To grow fat if it happens to survive

The journey of life it goes ‘round and ‘round
The journey of life goes ‘round
The journey of life makes a beautiful sound
Doesn’t even end if you die

You can be from any place in this world
You can speak yourself with another tongue
You don’t even have to be a short-finned eel
To know the plot to the story is the same

The journey of life it goes ‘round and ‘round
The journey of life goes ‘round
The journey of life makes a beautiful sound
Doesn’t even end if you die

You know how that eel is a slippery one
How hard it is to hold within your hands
You may think you grasp it, but then it is gone
So hold on to the story if you can

The journey of life it goes ‘round and ‘round
The journey of life goes ‘round
The journey of life makes a beautiful sound
Doesn’t even end if you die
Doesn’t even end if you die
Doesn’t even end when you die
