Take Them River ft. Mark Morris & Rapidgrass Lyrics

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
