See the lonely eagle
Know it is his sky
Hear the thunder crashing
The grizzly in the dry
See the mighty pines
Tower in the sun
Hear the blind fury
Of the spring rivers run
And know
Above all
Where you stand
Feel the Chinook wind
Blow warm across the land
See the ancient bones
Once were seas where you now stand
See the low, swift creatures
Beneath the endless sky
Hear the cracking hiss of summer
Where winters silence soon will lie
And know
Above all
Where you stand
Soon I return
To the ways of my soul
My life, a restless journey
From the rapids to the shoals
Soon like the salmon
In the Skeena
Must I go
Back to the heartbeat
In the mother
Of my soul
And leave
My blue Rockies
Nevermore
