woke up at eight, started a fire

had a few drinks, we all felt inspired

jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens

the water is bitter cold

laid in the raft till it started moving

the current just sang, the song was so soothing

we stopped along the way

on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day

our boats collide, we feel the breeze

we stay afloat and make the most of everything

by noon we had swung the ropes in the woods

missed all dangers, snakes and the floods

burned by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold

lunch had been saved along with the lighters

wet cigarettes serve us as reminders

never trust a man with food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand

our boats collide, we feel the breeze

we stay afloat and make the most of everything

the sun will set, the stars would shine

the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine

let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

we'd laugh away the sunburn

as we laughed away his day

what we lost means nothing

for the memories will stay

caught the last bus, with no time to linger

driver seemed to be missing a finger

i turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day

our boats collide, we feel the breeze

we stay afloat and make the most of everything

the sun will set, the stars would shine

the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine

let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
