Down the River

Slow down the boat
down down the river we 
go.
Strong currents pushing 
us down.
Down down the river we 
go.
Barely dodging rocks and 
tree stumps 
down down the river we 
go.
With wobbly legs we try 
to stand
down down the river we 
go.
I see a waterfall coming 
up ahead
down down the river we 
go.
How i wish we had an 
anchor
down down the river we 
go.
With a cry for help and 
vigorous paddling
down down the river we 
go.
To a drowning death  
which we deny
down down the river we 
go.
