From Deep Within

The Mighty Mississippi

Oh, the Mighty Mississippi, a river so grand,

Stretching from Minnesota down to the Gulf of Mexico's sand.

Its waters flow steadily, like a never-ending dream,

And its banks, lined with lush green trees, make for a picturesque scene.

From its source high up north, the river winds its way,

Through valleys and pastures, and cities that seem to stay.

It carries barges and boats, all with goods in tow,

And every day, its currents keep on their ebb and their flow.

The Mississippi's a symbol of power and might,

As it plunges down rapids, making surging waves so bright.

Its power inspires awe from all who stand and see,

And its waters, deep and strong, are a sight to guarantee.

The Mighty Mississippi rolls,

From its source in Minnesota's shoals,

Through the fields of Missouri's plains,

And through the swamps of Louisiana's strains.

It winds its way with a steady flow,

Past the cities and towns it knows,

Its waters churn with a mighty force,

As it carves its way on its endless course.

The Mississippi carries our hopes and dreams,

On its waters, we have built our teams,

Its banks are lined with stories untold,

Of the brave and mighty, the young and old.

The Mississippi casts a spell,

On those who know it all too well,

Its power and its endless grace,

Are a reminder of the human race.

As the Mighty Mississippi rolls on,

We know that it will never be gone,

Its currents remind us of life and death,

And the power of Mother Nature's breath.

So let us honor the Mighty Mississippi,

And all the wonder it holds within,

For it is a symbol of this great land,

And the spirit of those who make it grand.

So let us raise a toast to this majestic river,

And give a cheer for its beauty, strength, and its power that deliver.

For there's no better sight, no nobler song or cause,

Than to celebrate the Mighty Mississippi, our own great natural paus.
