[Verse 1]
I was sittin’ by the water, line cast out real slow,
A boy with empty hands stood watchin’ the river flow.
Said, "Mister, I’m so hungry, don’t know what I’m gonna do,"
I smiled and handed him my pole, said, "Son, let me show you."
[Pre-Chorus]
The river’s wide, the river’s deep,
But the Lord provides if you believe.
[Chorus]
It’s just a fish, but it’s more than a meal,
It’s hope in your hands, it’s somethin’ you can feel.
When you learn to cast, you’re learnin’ to pray,
Trustin’ the good Lord to show you the way.
It’s just a fish, but it’s more than it seems—
It’s faith on a hook, it’s a net full of dreams.
[Verse 2]
Years went by, that boy grew tall, I saw him just last spring,
Standin’ by the river, teachin’ a child the same thing.
He said, “This world’s full of hunger, but love will fill the cracks,
When you give the gift of learnin’, it’s a gift that gives right back.”
[Pre-Chorus]
The river’s wide, the river’s strong,
But grace will guide you all along.
[Chorus]
It’s just a fish, but it’s more than a meal,
It’s hope in your hands, it’s somethin’ you can feel.
When you learn to cast, you’re learnin’ to pray,
Trustin’ the good Lord to show you the way.
It’s just a fish, but it’s more than it seems—
It’s faith on a hook, it’s a net full of dreams.
