Has to keep racing, no time to waste.
Doing the same thing, day after day,
It rushes, no loit'ring along the way.
I
like a lazy river that ambles along,
Lulling me with its soothing song;
One that seems to be going nowhere,
And what is more, it doesn't care.
So why am I looking at you,
Could it be that I love Rio Chiriqui, too?
Watching water 'round the rocks churn,
I feel there's a lesson I should learn.
From haloed hills a voice speaks to me
And says, 'This is how it's supposed to be;'
Sereneness and stillness, storm and strife.
Calm and conflict are both part of life.
So sometimes be busy, sometimes be still,
But in all you do, obey my will;
The moving river, quiet hills above,
Look at both of them and see my love.

Near the headwaters of the Chiriqui River.
