Lyrics
He sleeps, and dreams
of treasures he'll discover on some secret stream
He wakes before the sun
anxious as a child on Christmas morn
Dressing quietly, Kissing me softly
He heads into the rising sun
to find the perfect place to catch his dreams
He welcomes the sunlight on his face
the comfort of the current's cool embrace
Watching the graceful arcing line
thoughts of everything and nothing entertwined
Drinking in the day
Hours fall away
Basking in his ecstacy
Reeling in the magic of this place
He feels the rhythm of the cast, of life,
of nature, at peace
Baptized into freedom,
communing with the power of the river, released
Then he reels in the line,
strengthened by this moment of connection
Then gently he'll release the prize and watch it swim away
With thankfulness and wonder in his eyes
The river dances and flows
collecting souvenirs of wood and stone
Purposeful and strong
broadening as it carries them along
And the life we know drives us to reach and grow
Finding our own destinies,
discovering sweet surprises as we go
He feels the rhythm of the cast, of life,
of nature, at peace
Baptized into freedom,
communing with the power of the river, released
Then he reels in the line,
strengthened by this moment of connection
Then gently he'll release the prize and watch it swim away
With thankfulness and wonder in his eyes
