i'm gonna build a raft
ride it down the river, when she comes back
paint the canvas called life, let the watercolors run
i'm gonna build a raft

the mast'll be my hopes and dreams
the bottom - my in betweens
sides fashioned from past mistakes
blown away like hand grenades

down the winding we will go
as shallow water shifts and flows
in that moment we'll let go
of everything we've ever known

we'll drown all our demons
in a current not knee high
we'll drown all our demons
and down the river we will fly

the clouds will part like shaken hands
the shade will hide our secret land
the moon will make a cameo
our grins our smiles our eyes will glow

i'm gonna build a raft
ride it down the river, when she comes back
paint the canvas called life, let the watercolors run
i'm gonna build a raft
