Snake River, 2017 (demo)

Don't let the current calm fool you It comes faster than you think See chirping otters in their upstream push As we embark on our downstream slink What we notice in the moment Is a funny thing to me Now I think about you all But then all I noticed was the river recede One of us can make a difference Two will change your mind All three will make you laugh And we'll hear you cry And when you're looking back It's a ferocious stream We are the Snake River, 2017 Whitewater Wyoming meets my existential bent Tetons as the backdrop to things I never knew I needed Being there with you was special from the landing Reflecting on what we lost And good advice we haven't heeded I refuse to call it wisdom, we're still too small for that But we've learned so much together You can hear it when we laugh I can see now what I never saw before Sweet green trees on snow-capped mountains The lady moose of Jenny Lake put on a river dance for us As the grizzled old male watched from the mountain above One of us can make a difference Two will change your mind All three will make you laugh And we'll hear you cry And when you're looking back It's a ferocious stream We are the Snake River, 2017 One of us can make a difference Two will change your mind All three will make you laugh And we'll hear you cry And when you're looking back It's a ferocious stream We are the Snake River, 2017 No one knows what they have until it's gone No one knows what they have until it's gone One of us can make a difference Two will change your mind All three will make you laugh And we'll hear you cry And when you're looking back It's a ferocious stream We are the Snake River, 2017 One of us can make a difference Two will change your mind All three will make you laugh And we'll hear you cry And when you're looking back It's a ferocious stream We are the Snake River, 2017 2017
