Story behind the song

As in the discription inspired by a question one of my sons asked me years ago.

Lyrics

Where 
[01/01/00] 

[A] 
Where is the river running too? 
Will it ever reach the sea? 
Where is the river running too? 
My young one once asked me. 

[B]
It's running towards the ocean, so blue
to its mother's waiting breast. 
And only when it reaches her side 
is when it will stop and rest. 

Break:

[A] 
Where is the ocean rolling too? 
Will it reach the distant shore? 
Where is the ocean rolling too? 
Asked my young one wanting more. 

[B] 
It's rolling in all directions  
and will touch many lands. 
As it has for millions of years 
since the world began. 

Break:

Where is the earth headed too? 
Will pollution make it die? 
Where is the earth headed too? 
Said my young one, concern in his eyes. 

[B]
The earth's future looks bleak at times 
with an uncertain end. 
But I believe she will survive 
having you as a friend. 

[A] 
Where will I be going to? 
When I am older and on my own? 
Where will I be going to? 
Will I be left all alone? 

[B]
Your life will run like the river 
and roll like the oceans of old. 
Your future's hidden in mystery. 
You must wait and watch it unfold. 


[Tag] 
Your life will run like the river 
and roll on like the oceans of old. 
Your future's hidden in mystery. 
Wait and watch it unfold.
