Take Them River (feat. Mark Morris & Rapidgrass)

He grew up with a passion for the wild places Appreciation for nature And wide open spaces He found a tribe of like minded souls Wild folk who traded in conformity To go and chase the flow It was the thrill of the unknown That made him feel alive A visceral connection When he put his life out on the line The type of feeling that you can't describe And it grew from a hobby To a passion To a state of mind But he was playing with fire And he kept on chasing the high Like a river on the rise He was steady on the climb But the bite of the wild It would steal him of life Like all days must fade into night Now he's free where the birds of prey take their flight Man it's always the good ones who have to die And it feels like a game till we say goodbye Now we sing Take him river Oh take him on another whitewater ride Take him river Oh take him home She was drawn to the river And the song it would sing A young woman with ambition Who grew up to be queen She was bright eyed and driven Living on the fringes No plan through no mans land She kept drifting It was the rhythm of the wilderness That spoke to her Like boulders that rolled down stream The flows sculpted her Woken and focused her devotion took her far Beyond the limits that restrict us From the depths of who we are But one day it all fell down Like the rain from a cumulus cloud We all wash away one day To be renewed But the loss hurt us all When it cost us you Like temples to ruins Now left for dust She left us too soon From the flesh and blood But her spirit burns on Like the setting son We'll see you when we get there Lu Lu But we send you love And now we sing Take her river Oh take her on another whitewater ride Take her river Oh take her home Take them river Oh take them on another whitewater ride Take them river Oh take them home
