Young Tom Sawyer (Cover)

[Verse 1] When I was young, my life flowed with the river Born a mountain stream, dancing down the hills Skipping on the rocks, I frolicked as a child As the years built up, that stream became a river Slow, deep, and wide, it wandered through the land I built myself a raft of logs and let the current carry me [Chorus] But don't you know, young Tom Sawyer Basking in the sun, but don't you know, Tom Sawyer Head bowed to the rain, don't you know that water flows Downhill and that rivers love the valleys [Verse 2] So when the hills roll by and I wonder what it's like To stand on the ridge where the winds howl through your hair And you look down to the valley where you see the river snaking Yeah, so I wonder just how far you can see [Chorus] But don't you know, young Tom Sawyer Basking in the sun, but don't you know, Tom Sawyer Head bowed to the rain, don't you know that water flows Downhill and that rivers love the valleys [Verse 3] So now the time has come for me to bring this raft ashore To set out on my wobbly legs and let the current go To climb the nearest mountain and see the land spread before me And then I'll know my legs can bring me anywhere And then I'll know my eyes can see anything And then I'll know my dreams are in the making [Chorus] So now you see, young Tom Sawyer Climbing on the rocks again, now you see Tom Sawyer Running through the mountain meadows, you've learned that water flows Downhill and that rivers love the valleys
