about

an ode to playing outside

lyrics

He’s taking the river home
He’s going to share all his dreams
With those wispy water waves
In sunlit hidden caves
He loves these new spring days
Oh the, water gets so high
From all the melting snow
Soaking the ground below
He slips and slides along
Humming nature's songs
With sweetly stated words
And newly wakened birds

Yes imagination soars
When you search for more
It’s not from TV screens
But where things are unseen
Oh o when boundaries slip away
And normal's led astray
When you can lose all sense of time
Sing your own new rhyme

He used to play with friends
But they left one by one
To find more grown up thrills
And seek out silly girls
He climbs that highest tree
Can’t wait for all he'll see
For the land it stretches far
No matter which way you are
He fears the day will come
When all these trees are gone
And children stay inside
From all this beauty they'd hide

For imagination grows
When you don't even know
It’s not from TV screens
But where things are unseen
Oh o when boundaries slip away
And normal's lead astray
When you can set your mind free
Climb that highest tree

He knows the day will come
He’ll have to leave this town
No matter where he goes
He vows to always know
The smell of wild flowers
And all the sacred powers
That nature's secrets give
And what it means to him
That nature's secrets give
And what it means to him
That nature's secrets give
And what it means to him
