The pilot said to the co -pilot,
our right engine's gone.
perhaps I can set her down.
All my children of the sun
Five hundred miles from nowhere
we belly -landed on a river
We bid a quick goodbye
to that ship of silver
twenty reached the shore
Turned to see our metal birds
All my children of the sun
We found some floating logs,
we found some sharp stones
We cut some vines and made a raft,
Gm
F
it was our only hope

The navigator said he thought there was
a town somewhere downstream

All my children of the sun
All except one young guy
Who kept arguing with the navigator
He said he'd read about a waterfall
We would come to sooner or later

To bring our raft to beach

All my children of the sun
Still Egghead kept on talking
In that same long -winded way
We said if you won't paddle
Get the hell out of our way

We told him to go sit

Then we strained to paddle harder

And then the river made a turn
All my children of the sun
Bb
F
One paddler heard the sound of tapping
What he saw when he did turn
Was egghead with a sharp stone
Cutting the vines that bound the stern
With a cry of rage the paddler
Leaped up to his feet
He swung his long pole
Knocked egghead into the deep
F

Like mad we paddled for the shore

A search party went out to find more vines
To tie the raft up tight
In twenty minutes they returned
Their faces pale with fright
Gm
F
it's over a hundred feet in height,
F
Gm
we'd none of us lived at all,
Bb
F
And that is why on the banks
of a far off wilderness stream,
which none of us,
none of us will ever see again,
Who we thought was only
