The line "Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river" speaks to the relentless drive necessary for leaders to navigate the challenges they face.

The line "I'm never gonna stop the boat" speaks to the unwavering determination that leaders must possess. Leaders must be resolute in their commitment to their goals and always maintain sight of what they are trying to achieve.
