A song mainly for schools to sing

lyrics

Lean on the rail, watch the river glide by,
Look down through the water, gaze up at the sky
The bank sliding past, the fields beyond green,
More fishes, more birds than you ever have seen.
Dream with me, sing with me, happy, carefree
As we sail down this river on our way to the sea

This river’s our friend, for boats large and small
She knows where we’re headed, she’s guiding us all She carries us safely past factory, past farm
This river will steer us past trouble and harm
Dream with me, sing with me, happy, carefree
As we sail down this river on our way to the sea

Through locks, under bridges around every bend. This river’s so busy as we reach journey’s end
It widens, it deepens, there’s salt in the air,
The sea lies ahead and the wind is set fair
Dream with me, sing with me, happy, carefree As we sail down this river on our way to the sea.
