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
