Lyrics

Friends, gather 'round me I want to tell you 'bout what's inside me I had this daydream Comin' on, comin' on Jimmy Carter made the national arctic refuge People laughed at him and wondered why When Jimmy Carter made the national arctic refuge He saved the heart of the world in a needle's eye You've got wind no one is blown by Views no eyes have seen Rivers no one had drank from Mountains no mind has dreamed I went down to the River Canning The water was sweet and cold Crystal clear liquid touched my lips And it's essence filled my soul With the power of love, love I wake up in the morning sunlight It lights my face and the world around I lay my head in the midnight sunlight I lay my soul on untouched ground Rhythm in the wind and the fire lights are glowing One thousand antlers pass for a stranger's smile The fiddle man cast his spell that misty morning He's bidding you hang around for a while I've never known a godly kingdom I've never loved a god of stone Revealed to me, complete contentedness In the northern wind, I'm going home I don't know if there's a place Where you can find a godly race But the river is deep and the river is wide And there's sunlight waiting on the other side Friends gather 'round I want to tell you 'bout what's inside me I had this daydream comin' on, comin' on comin' on, comin' on
