about

This one was written by Jasmin Frederickson and I. We started writing it while sittin' next to a river.

lyrics

The river it's calling me-
andering through my veins
Traveling along the main arteries
Branching to a quiet place

We all just float on by

Feelin' all the urgency
It's hard to sit still, doesn't
Make sense to me until
I'm breathing through my gills

The river is calling me,
Screaming out my name.
Conjuring up old memories,
Some things don't ever change.

We all just float on by

Make the same old trek
Year in and year out
Never having no regrets
Except when foaming at the mouth

Reaching to the universe
In the grass we lie down
Staring at the mysterious
Sharing thoughts all around
We are the children of the wilderness
Lost in the loud
Returning to the origins
Once in awhile

The river is calling me,
Promising adventurous times,
Testing all of our abilities,
Making our characters shine.

we all just float on by.

The river is calling me-
andering through my soul.
