She flows down out of the mountains and down to the sea.
The river thunders and crashes and she calls out to me.
Come home my friend, come home and be one with me,

I look at her in wonder and anticipation as I approach her from afar.
Swift thundering rapids contrasting with her cool calm waters below.
Glaciers feed the deep cold lakes that continually feed the flow.

She is ever in my heart and ever in my soul and I am not content.
I must find myself back upon the silt-laden waters of the mighty river
Where lush forest-covered mountains rise high above to guard her.

I am at home and at peace as I travel upon her swift waters.
Majestic eagles nest in tree tops and also call her home while
Bear and deer and other wildlife happily abound along her shores.

As I travel upon the swift running waters I am always in awe of her.
Her majestic beauty and her mighty power hold my heart in her grip.
I know that I cannot escape my fevered need to return home to her.

From the sandy beaches of the desert to the grassy flats nearby.
I see her in my mind's eye and I feel her deep in my heart wherever I am.
I only need to close my eyes and remember and I once again go home.

I need to be one with her and to feel the contentment and peace.
She gives that to me when I feel her cool mist upon my face.
No matter where I am, I hear her calling my name and I know I must go.

My one and only desire is to be upon the waters and be one with her.
The ever-changing river rushes down from the mountains to the sea.
And I know I must go home just once more as she calls out to me.
