" I feel as though I’ve had another little reprieve. I’m still in the forest and I know there is only one way out.

I haven’t found another little clearing but maybe I’ve found a little grassy path with some flowers growing at the side and with some sun flickering through the trees. "

Take it Away!
Words: Deb Schutt, Kingston "Chestmates" member
Music: Stu Woolley

Women of power paddling strong,
Each with a story to share.
Joined in battles – triumphant spirit –
Always a shoulder to spare.

Miracles happen when we pull together.
Dig deep, eyes ahead – all as one!
Miracles in motion, we glide through the water,
Winners of every race run!

Chorus:
Paddles up! Take it away!
Paddles up! Take it away!
And make everyone strong, and we can't go wrong!
Take it away!
