Song 2: The Land Between Two Rivers
Babson Dance
Rivers flow; makes things grow. Living through all kinds of weather.
We all know the seeds we'll sow are bringing the people together.
Two rivers; many people, Come together on the land.
One vision; all people. The land between two rivers is our home.
SOLO 1: HH Yellow
SOLO 2: HH Blue
Day by day, year by year, building a land like no other.
Never stop, never fear, build for your sister and brother.
