I dreamed last night that my father built himself a great canoe he filled it with the wisdom that his younger self could never know
He said: Son dont go where it is that ive gone. These lessons Ive learned I learned on my own. And these lessons ive learned they were hard earned now take them with you and go.
But i got stranded in a valley low until mother mountain made the rivers flow
The river was rough and the water was warm but i was alone and my heart was torn until i found a stream where i built my home it was there that i learned that im not alone
She said: Im proud of you son and the things that youve done your heart beats now and it beats on its own. The mountains were high and the valleys were low its time to build a boat of your own
So i built a boat for a fox and a ram they crossed the stream and away they ran with paddle in hand the world was their own the years will be hard but they'll help you grow
I said: Brother dont go where it is that ive gone. These lessons Ive learned I learned on my own. And these lessons ive learned they were hard earned now take them with you and go.
