As the River

As the river rushes by
Past the vivid green and red
Rainbow rocks along its bed
Showing white foam to the sky

Stand and listen to the cry
Of the sky-life overhead
As the river rushes by
Past the vivid green and red

Taste the scent upon the pine
Feel the earth beneath your tread
See the interwoven threads
Of the moments as they fly
And the river rushes by.
