[Intro]
Let's make a little boy from North Carolina dreams come true once again
Here's my friend William Shatner
[Instrumental]
Goodness me, thank you so much
Thank you so much, my goodness
You know, music is everywhere
Music is everywhere
It existed in the heartbeat of your mother
As she carried you, it exists in the wind
As it sings its songs
From the howl of the wolf
To the rhythmic sounds of suckling
To the jagged crash of waves on the shore
The vibration of music is everywhere in our life
Tonight we wanna show you the musicality of speech
Music, rhythm, he excitement of the meaning of a song
Set to full-throated music right there
Last year Robert Sharenow and I and Daniel Miller
Wrote an album called Bill which received heavenly reviews
Ben Folds, my old friend and musical companion
Invited me to collaborate this
With this wonderful orchestra
And arrangers to sing some of the new songs
That my partners and I have been working on since that album's release
Almost all of them have to do with Earth Day
One of them's about love, but uh, hey
That too, of course, is universal
So
As a teenager I worked all summer in a welfare camp
As a counselor, tough kids, tough work
As a reward the heads of the campus said to the eight of us
"How would you guys like to go on a special trip in a war canoe?
Eight days by water to go from Montreal to New York City"
Well, you can imagine the enthusiasm as everybody jumped forward
Paddles in hands, stalwart Canadians
About to take a monumental journey
The journey turned out not only to be physically arduous
But mentally taxing as well
"Eight Days on the Water"
Written by: Ben Folds, William Shatner
