Song of the Waterfall

High up in the mountains where the air is fresh and cool A bubbling spring flows down into a deep awaiting pool It’s here the waters start upon their journey clear and long Thus begins the melody of a wondrous nature song You can watch the pooling water start on its slow cascade It moves into a flowing stream that melting snow has made A little further down the way if you should take a look The stream joins with the waters of a gently flowing brook Here the stream and brook combine to graciously deliver Gifts of pure clean water to a clearly flowing river The waters of the river move serene and calm at first Allowing many animals to come and quench their thirst The water quickly picks up speed as on its way it goes And you can hear it start to sing as o’er the rocks it flows The water swiftly flows out to a tall and rocky ledge Turning into a wondrous sight while tumbling o’er the edge A beautiful misty rainbow's formed by its falling flight To see the dancing water is a most impressive sight You can hear its soft sweet music as it tumbles right along Singing a lovely chorus of the waters falling song
