[Verse] He stood by the river sun sinking low His empty net was casting shadows slow A stranger came said hey my friend Let me show you something that won't end [Verse 2] With rough hands he showed the man the way To twist the line to make the catch and play Through patience and the water’s gentle wish Learn the trick to pull life's dish [Chorus] If you give a man a fish he'll eat today But teach a man to fish he'll find his way To feed his heart and soul through every tide Casting dreams under open sky wide [Verse 3] Morning light kissed the surface deep The man now knew secrets that he'd keep With every cast hope would grow anew Stories in the ripples flowing true [Bridge] The stranger nodded then walked away Leaving wisdom that would always stay A gift of life in simple means Every lesson bright as moonbeam gleams [Chorus] If you give a man a fish he'll eat today But teach a man to fish he'll find his way To feed his heart and soul through every tide Casting dreams under open sky wide
