Going On

The sky is shining
but I must go
the grass is green
but I must go
everyone is friendly
but I must go
they'll pay all your expenses
but I must go
the children are growing
but I must go
the grandchildren are here
but I must go
the river is still
but I must go
the snow hasn't fallen
but I must go
the new year is coming
but I must go
wait, we're not ready
but I must go...now
