Canoe Rare Americans

[Verse 1]
The milk from mother's breast
Gave you the start, that was the best
Food on your face, your hair a mess
Flying colors, life's little tests
Confident and strong, stickin' out your chest
The best to come, the worst a guess

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I livin' a lie? I ask me, myself, and I
Cause everybody knows that courage comes and goes
Brother, hold on for the next supply

[Chorus]
To thine own self, be true
In this life it's all up to you
You paddle your own canoe
You paddle your own canoe
Your own canoe
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Your own canoe
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)

[Verse 2]
Eddies and kicks, rapids turn six
Then you remiss, chances you missed
Wind hits your sails, start to prevail
Suddenly assailed, wind, rain and hail
You just missed your stride, bride by your side
Smooth ride, systems collide
It’s your first real strife
Pretty little life change overnight
Real fuckin' fight, times shuck and jive
Odds spike and dive, hornets now fully out of the hive
This too shall pass, ride it out on your raft
Just never know how long these things'll last
Last, last, last, last, last
