From the recording Turnaround
Lyrics
I'm going to paddle my canoe around the island
After I climb up on the mountain really high and then I'll
Take the trail to the waterfall - maybe I'll go barefoot or maybe not at all
I'll be fishing in the river, no I'm swimming down the river
No, I'm digging for some treasure, no I'm up in a tree
I'll be carrying some water, I'll be cutting up some timber
I'll be putting all the pieces back together for free
You can have a life of luxury. You can fill your days with greed and envy
But I don't see any freedom there
I'm floating down the river without a care
I'm floating down the river without a care
Maybe I'll be sit up in a cave for a hundred days
And while I'm there I'll learn to levitate
I'll move some heavy boulders in a circle and align them to the summer solstice
Or a celestial scene, a celestial scene
I know you've taken some chances with me
But nothing good in life ever comes for free
We've gone together to the edge of the Earth
And we kept going out to sea
What kind of raft is this we're on
We need some rain or we'll be gone
We need some shelter from the sun
If we're going to live through this one
But that's what we always say
I know we'll make it some way
Why does an old man plant a tree
That would never yield fruit he would ever see
