Lyrics
RIVER SWIM
River swim,
River run unburdened.
Shelter all your creatures within
Leaping upstream’s wild currents
Pirouetting dancers
Jump back into your bubbling bed.
I want to be part of your eco-system
And dive head first for the ocean dream
Before returning to your childhood memories
Deep under water,
Come home for the
River swim,
River run unbounded.
River swim
River run
Amongst the trees
And forest leaves
Where we are one.
I want to be part of your eco-system
And dive head first for the ocean dream
Before returning to our childhood memories
Deep under water,
Hurry home for the
River swims,
River runs heartbroken.
River swim
River run
Amongst the trees
And forest leaves
Where we are one.
