Drink life one drop at a time, soul
Flow with the steam in your soul, soul
Pour your soul into the river of life, life
Rush to the ocean of God, God
There is a song I sing in a dream
There is a flow I can feel in a stream
Up to my neck in the flood from the snow
Over my head is beyond what I know
Take me beyond the south
Show me the way to the lighthouse
South Canadian motion
Downstream there is an ocean
There is a saint in every snake
There is a lady in every lake
There can be hell in a waterfall
I believe there's heaven after all
If you take me, save me
What kind of stone would you make
South Canadian
A free-flowing stream to a tidal wave
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Rush to the ocean of God, God
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Flow with the steam in your soul, soul
Pour your soul into the river of life, life
Rush to the ocean of God, God
There is a song I sing in a dream
There is a flow I can feel in a stream
Up to my neck in the flood from the snow
Over my head is beyond what I know
Take me beyond the south
Show me the way to the lighthouse
South Canadian motion
Downstream there is an ocean
There is a saint in every snake
There is a lady in every lake
There can be hell in a waterfall
I believe there's heaven after all
If you take me, save me
What kind of stone would you make
South Canadian
A free-flowing stream to a tidal wave
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Rush to the ocean of God, God
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Drink life one drop at a time, time
Drink life one drop at a time, time
