Rhythm

[Key of E; Tracy plays in standard tuning,no capo] 

He sleeps, and dreams of treasures he'll discover on some secret stream
He wakes before the sun anxious as a child on Christmas morn
Dressing quietly, Kissing me softly
He heads into the rising sun to find the perfect place to catch his dreams

He welcomes the sunlight on his face the comfort of the current's cool embrace
Watching the graceful arcing line thoughts of everything and nothing entertwined
Drinking in the day Hours fall away
Basking in his ecstacy Reeling in the magic of this place

He feels the rhythm of the cast, of life, of nature, at peace
Baptized into freedom, communing with the power of the river, released
Then he reels in the line, strengthened by this moment of connection
Then gently he'll release the prize and watch it swim away
With thankfulness and wonder in his eyes

The river dances and flows collecting souvenirs of wood and stone
Purposeful and strong broadening as it carries them along
And the life we know drives us to reach and grow
Finding our own destinies, discovering sweet surprises as we go

He feels the rhythm of the cast, of life, of nature, at peace
Baptized into freedom, communing with the power of the river, released
Then he reels in the line, strengthened by this moment of connection
Then gently he'll release the prize and watch it swim away
With thankfulness and wonder in his eyes
