Our Adventure

Our Adventure

We are the best traveling buddies,

We are traveling this long river,

We know this river girl,

Let’s pack our essentials,

Let’s put it on a flatboat,

We will take long sticks,

Walk ‘em,

You and me,

Upstream,

We will push against the current,

We know friends that do the same,

Every day,

But, this is our adventure,

I hear you settling,

Tonight,

You have a book in your hands,

We have built a fire,

Our desire,

Is hand in hand,

Connected,

Tonight,

On a river we know,

A river we know,

Oh, too well,

Let’s push it,

Let’s push it,

Let’s push it,

And, then,

Let the current,

Roll us down,

Until we turn it around,

And, push it again,

Upstream!
