You Can't Put A River In A Box
© James Gordon 2010
from This Canoe Runs On Water on Pipe Street Records
You can't put a river You can't put a river You can't put a river in a box
You can't case it in concrete
Or push it through pipes
It needs to burble and sing over rocks
You can't put a river You can't put a river You can't put a river in a box
Just like us it'll die
If it cannot breathe
Let it feel the earth and the sky
Let it flow free
You can't put a river You can't put a river You can't put a river in a box
You can't package it up,
Or bottle it in,
Or imprison it with cement blocks
You can't put a river You can't put a river You can't put a river in a box
Instrumental repeat bridge... then
You can't put a river You can't put a river You can't put a river in a box
