The lone cup, the strawberry thief
That gentle feeling of relief
And all around, the sound of
the river, the life giver.

Have a care, on your own
This your time that you own
And all around the sound of
the river, the life giver.

Welcome dawn, steel green light
Not one bird has taken flight
And all around the sound of
the river, the life giver.

Random thought, free from ought
Live a life of phrases caught
And all around the sound of
the river, the life giver.

Lucky man, now you can
Feel the earth, smell the sun
Washed by rain, back again
Stretch your arms, know the charms
Of this land that holds your hand
In depth you go, so you know
What’s in your mind for you to find
Oh such pleasure beyond measure
Landed like the fruit of night
And all around, all around,
All around the sound of
the river, the life giver.
