River to ocean

River to ocean
Nature's devotion
Each sacred daybreak
Fresh to the world
Joy to creation
Joy to each nation
Joy of our lifetimes
Here in the world

Boy becomes grown man
Girl turns to woman
Time waits for no-one
Slips gently by
Each perfect moment
Just goes to show that
We are just young birds
Learning to fly

Long may you reign pure
May your heart stay sure
Play your part surely
Straight from the soul
We'll stand united
Each wrong is righted
Night turns to daylight
Wisdom of old

Look to the mountain
Distant before us
Drink from the fountain
Of wisdom and love
Hope stands beside us

Ready to guide us
Peace love and goodness
Rain from above

River to ocean
Nature's devotion
Each sacred daybreak
Fresh to the world
Joy to creation
Joy to each nation
Joy of our lifetimes
Here in the world
