Walk in the Wissahickon
Emerald creek laid among Lenape land
Offers some relief from the works of man
Sitting as a bird on a bow
I often wonder which way life may go
She changes with the seasons you can watch her turn the page
Early in the morning you can hear the creek exclaim
Oh these trees unravel my pride
And help me learn to keep an open mind
With every moment spent inside the valley
Yeah I'm waiting like a wild seed
To germinate along with spring
So I pause and sit beside an oak tree
Lost in her analogies
Feel a spark inside of me
Oo-aye-yah!
La la la la la
Skipping little stones across from the water's edge
For no apparent reason but it seems to provide rest
And demonstrate the tension in our lives
Oh may we learn to live with open eyes
With every moment spent inside the valley
Yeah I'm waiting like a wild seed
To germinate along with spring
So I pause and sit beside an oak tree
Yeah lost in her analogies
Oh I feel that spark inside of me
Singing oh! Such a wonderful place
Oh! It's such a beautiful way
To spend some time below the streets
Oh to let my mind run free
Oh! I could sit here all day
Oh! So many memories await
I may wander endlessly
And watch the sunset through the trees
Oo-aye-yah! La la la la la
