Upbeat folk-pop with a gently rolling 4/4 groove, bright acoustic guitar and hand percussion in the verses, warm bass and light piano joining the chorus, then a flowing fiddle hook between sections. Clear, friendly lead vocal with communal harmony on the chorus; build from intimate opening to a buoyant final chorus, polished organic mix.

Prompt:
[Verse 1] You lead the deer to a bend in the shade, Where herons step through the reeds. We fill our cups, we water the rows, You carry what every living thing needs. [Chorus] River, running through our days, Giving life in a hundred ways. We swim your bends, we paddle along, You turn your current into power strong. River, we learn as your waters flow, Take what we need, let the clean banks grow. [Verse 2] On summer afternoons, we dive from the shore, Kayaks stitch ripples downstream. Farmers watch the fields drink deep, While fish flash silver and green. [Chorus] River, running through our days, Giving life in a hundred ways. We swim your bends, we paddle along, You turn your current into power strong. River, we learn as your waters flow, Take what we need, let the clean banks grow. [Bridge] Your moving water spins the wheel, Sends light to the homes on the hill. From thirsty roots to a bright-lit room, You carry a gift we must protect and renew. [Final Chorus] River, running through our days, Giving life in a hundred ways. For people and creatures, fields and streams, For boats and laughter and turning turbines. River, we learn as your waters flow, Care for the banks, let the clean current go. [Outro] Care for the banks, let the clean current go.
