[Abm] Well, Nikki and I knew each other, sort of, from the Winnipeg music community.
[D] And so we got together really for one show or so we thought, and [F] that kind of led into
a much more full-time [C] situation.
And fast forward a few years, Heather joined us 11 years ago now.
We've been a band for 16 years.
[F] [Am] And we've always [A] done the three-part harmony thing.
[C] When Heather joined, it felt really amazing.
[G] We knew we had a great [F] blend, and it just kind of has always [Am] had a natural, organic
[A] kind of energy to it.

[C] I'd like to be free like that spread my wings so high.
I see the river flowing, water [G] running by.
[C] I'd like to be that river, see what I might find.

I'd like to be those flowers, open to everything.

[C] I'd like to be those seasons made up and learned.
I'd teach the living, the seeds that grow [G] within.
[C] I'd like to be that earth, the one where life begins.
[F] I see the moon [C] arise and reach it into night.
I'd like to be the moon, I know it will wait in [F] line.
I know the silence [C] as the world begins to wake.
I'd like to be the silence as the morning [F] breaks.
