Chorus And it’s hey ho hi, I want to touch the sky I want to know what the wild goose knows and hear the crickets cry And it’s hey ho hi, you’ll know it by and by When you seek the sound and you follow the ground and you feel the night come round My father knows the name of every bird and every tree As we hike he whistles back each birdsong to me Once we followed deer tracks for half of a day We found the deer and the deer stood still before it ran away We build our fires carefully, they only need one match We eat our food from the milkweed leaves and the blackberry patch We like to camp in a special spot where the trees make a ring We’re not afraid of the dark, we hear the darkness sing When you camp you hear the crickets, then you hear the frogs Those tiny little peepers from the swampy wet bogs Once I heard a rustle and I got up to see A raccoon with some berries running up a tree And I teach my father how to walk across the stream To watch the rocks that can tip you down, slippery moss green How to find the steady ones you can hop across fast And how to jump that final jump, safe into the grass
