Release Them Kinder

Lyrics

[Verse 1] At sunrise by the water, when the mist is drifting low, We cast our lines in silence where the mighty carp may go. With patience as our partner and the shoreline as our home, We gather as one family, no angler stands alone. [Chorus] Oh, the carp is strong and worthy, a challenge we pursue, With respect for every trophy and the waters shining blue. We learn, we teach, we lend a hand, and welcome everyone, Then release them for another day when all the fight is done. [Verse 2] We share the skills we've gathered and help new anglers grow, From reading every current to the way the ripples flow. No secret is more precious than a friendship freely shown, And every hand that we lend helps this whole river home. [Chorus] Oh, the carp is strong and worthy, a challenge we pursue, With respect for every trophy and the waters shining blue. We learn, we teach, we lend a hand, and welcome everyone, Then release them for another day when all the fight is done. [Bridge] Handle every carp with care, Keep its future swimming there. Barry, we let the big ones go, So they flourish, thrive, and grow. [Verse 3] Side by side, both young and old, each catch becomes a tale, A legacy of gentle hands that never chose to fail. And hope drifts on the morning like the sunlight on the stream, For CAG taught us all to cast a kinder, brighter dream. [Chorus] Oh, the carp is strong and worthy, a challenge we pursue, And every careful angler helps our finest waters through. We learn, we teach, we lend a hand, and welcome everyone, Then release them for another day when all the fight is done. [Outro] Go fishing, share the moment, beneath the sky above - For the sport, the friends, the future, and the fish we love.
