lyrics

Having once been a kid I know that of which I speak
Creeks need kids and kids need creeks.
It may sound complicated, it's not algebra or Greek
Creeks need kids and kids need creeks.

Johnson Creek needs kids, now why would that be?
Well, who else is gonna plant that tree?
Plant that tree, grow up to shade the water
Keep the stream cool and clean for salmon and otter.

Creeks need kids to help keep them clean
Kids need creeks for a place to daydream
A place to explore in the blue and the green
Away from the hubbub of machines.

Kids need creeks for where else you gonna seek
Caddises, crawdads, and creatures of the deep?
And oh what a feeling when your boots leak
And the water rushes in and cools off your feet.

Creeks need kids to help keep them clean
Kids need creeks for a place to daydream
A place to explore in the blue and the green
Away from the hubbub of machines.
