Lyrics: This song, with its "threads" and "tapestry" lyrics, seemed a perfect link with our overall "patchwork quilt" metaphor .  We learned this song from Dave Orleans, and the final verse he added gives you a chance to sing your "watershed address", by filling in your own local creek, river, etc. (substituting for the underlined words).

We all live on a planet so big and blue - All the rivers run.
So much to learn, so much to do - All the rivers run.
There are mountains high and valleys low - All the rivers run.
And in between them, waters flow - All the rivers run.

(Chorus:)
All the rivers run
Dancing in the sun
Cradled in their watersheds
All the rivers run.

When the sun comes up and warms the land - All the rivers run.
There’s a world of wonder at every hand - All the rivers run.
Dew-drop, rain-drop, river or sea - All the rivers run.
The water cycles endlessly - All the rivers run.

(Chorus)

See millions of interlinking threads - All the rivers run.
This is the web of life, it’s said - All the rivers run.
The tapestry of life is knit - All the rivers run.
And water flows through all of it - All the rivers run.

(Chorus)

When the rain comes down in your hometown - All the rivers run.
It joins your creek and rolls on down - All the rivers run.
Then your creek runs all the way - All the rivers run.
Into your river, then down to the bay - All the rivers run.

(Chorus - repeat)
