The river is long
The river is wide
We live along
The riverside
The river can send
Water to the sea
We are the river’s friend
If we choose to be
The forest is green
The forest is wide
We live along
The forest side
The forest is home
To those who run free
We are the forest’s friend
If we choose to be
We can bring this world together
We can make it last forever
We’ll be here tomorrow
If we only start today (repeat)
The mountain is strong
The mountain is high
We live along
The mountainside
The mountain is home
To those who believe
We are the mountain’s friend
If we choose to be
We can bring this world together
We can make it last forever
We’ll be here tomorrow
If we only start today (repeat)
The river runs strong
The river runs free
We are the river’s friend
If we choose to be
We are the river’s friend
If we choose to be
