River rolling
Keep on rolling
Rolling into the sea
River's rolling
Keep on rolling
Rolling into the sea
In the warm light of spring
Shines the hope that you bring
To the world and all of its people
By the power of the sun
A new day's begun
And it's time to get to work
River's rolling
Keep on rolling
Rolling into the sea
So pick up your tools
Be off to your schools
Pick up your pen and start writing
A new child is born
An old badge is worn
And it's time to get to work
River's rolling
Keep on rolling
Rolling into the sea
So fly away
Through the light of the day
Don't fly too close to the sun
The bored hours pass
You daydream through class
It's time to get to work
River's rolling
Keep on rolling
Rolling into the sea
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me
Now the last bell has gone
For those moving on
From the city of cold wind and rain
It's a new kind of tough
To say - I've had enough
It's time to get to work
Don't fly too far away
Don't fly too close to the sun
