Eight Days on the Water William Shatner (Ft. Ben Folds, National Symphony Orchestra (USA) & Steven Reineke)
[Verse 1:]
On the verge of manhood
Just sixteen years old
Signed onto adventure
That seemed brave and bold
A perilous journey
Few others might do
To travel eight days
In an eight-man canoe
The plan seemed mythic
Manly and gritty
To paddle from Canada
To New York City
Champlain we cast off
Clearer than glass
Then no one in sight
Once a few days had passed
Surrounded by nature
Feeling wild and free
The hint of real danger
Appealing to me
On the verge of manhood
Just sixteen years old
Signed onto adventure
That seemed brave and bold
A perilous journey
Few others might do
To travel eight days
In an eight-man canoe
The plan seemed mythic
Manly and gritty
To paddle from Canada
To New York City
Champlain we cast off
Clearer than glass
Then no one in sight
Once a few days had passed
Surrounded by nature
Feeling wild and free
The hint of real danger
Appealing to me
