Let The River Run
Carly Simon
We’re coming to the edge,
Running on the water.Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.It’s asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.We’re coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.We’re coming to the edge,
Running on the water.
What works of art will you be creating, what astronomical alignments will you be examining, what calendrical events will you be marking, what geographical excursions will you be taking, what historical anniversaries will you be remembering, what holidays will you be celebrating, what museums will you be visiting, what music will you be playing, what poems will you be reciting, what scientific experiments will you be conducting, what stellar spectacles will you be observing, what wonderful words will you be reading, and what strange new worlds will you be discovering your homeschool in the year ahead? 😊
