West Coast Saga - Tom Cochrane

I walked by the west Canadian shore

Where I was born beneath the sky,

Staggered by and by, I cried,

Realizing I was once blind

I felt the wind blow in from the sea,

And it was blowing in on me.

Alone I walked while the mountains talked

Telling me I must be free

I have been relieved,

My waters shall run free

Take me down to the sea

---When I die

By the shores

Of my fathers

I will lie

Felt the sun break through from the sky,

And I could hear the seagulls cry,

Cry for me, while the wind and the sea,

In me, I must be free

I have been relieved,

My waters shall run free,

Take me down to the sea

---When I die

By the shores

Of my father

I will lie
