LYRICS:
BRENDEN
I feel a rush, out in the bush
People don’t go out enough and I think they should
BRODY
I take my dirt bike out when I’m hurt and down
One nice ride turns it all around
KIEDYN
Riding on my ski doo, full throttle
Jumping down shale pit hill, I make it rattle
AUBREY
Summer picnics, winter ski doo
Biking in the spring, that’s what we do
DARNELLE
Going out on the land, chopping wood with my hands
Setting traps with my friends, do it all, I know I can
EVERYONE
I am proud, of where I come from
Singing loud, we’re still strong
Oh oh oh, keep dancing
Oh oh oh, everlasting
TAYLOR
Walking helps me clear my mind I do it all the time
So when I’m feeling low, I leave it all behind
HARMONIE
When anger and confusion fill me
I hit streets, walking is my remedy
AALIYAH
-40 walking to school, kids not dressing warm, tryna be cool
What’s it all for, you actin' a fool
ARIANNA
Risk taking, is what I call fun
Adrenaline rush, sliding in the dark, in the sun
ADRIANNA
Sliding through snow down the hill
I really wanna go and feel the fun that is real
DIEZEL
Hunting geese with my friends
Having fun, we don’t pretend
Skipping water in the spring
See them wings, cha ching
EVERYONE
I am proud, of where I come from
Singing loud, we’re still strong
Oh oh oh, keep dancing
Oh oh oh, everlasting
(Ethan on Fiddle)
