Searching for the Little Man

[Verse] Woke up this mornin', with a rumble in my chest, A quest to take me somewhere, where I'll meet my final test, In the heart of the river, where the mystics always go, I'm searchin' for a feller, guess he'd be small as a toe. [Verse 2] A little man in a canoe, they say he's hard to find, But I'll paddle down this river, with true love on my mind, They speak in whispers, of his shy and hidden ways, But I'll keep on searchin', through endless summer days. [Chorus] Oh, the journey's long and wild, for that elusive friend, Through rapid waves and quiet lakes, I paddled 'round the bend, With a heart that’s ever yearnin', someday I will know, The secret of the river, where the little man will show. [Verse 3] Saw an old fisherman, with lines deep in his face, Asked him 'bout the legend, his smile fell into place, “Keep your stroke steady, boy, and your eyes fixed on the prize, Sometimes it's hidden, right in front of your eyes.” [Verse 4] Met a wise old woman, down by the willow tree, She handed me a charm, said it’d guide me spiritually, "Find the rhythm, find the flow, let your heart guide you true, The little man will find you, if you let him come to you.” [Chorus] Oh, the journey's long and wild, for that elusive friend, Through rapid waves and quiet lakes, I paddled 'round the bend, With a heart that’s ever yearnin', someday I will know, The secret of the river, where the little man will show.
