To the Great Salt Water Lyrics

I will turn my eyes up to the stars
Every night that we are apart
For one day they will lead you
They will lead you back to me

Great Spirit watch over our home
Until the day when I return
To the land where we were born
On the shores of the Great Salt Water

I will breathe deeply the western wind
That once also passed over you
And when the night falls
I'll sing of a brighter morrow

Great Spirit watch over our home
Until the day when I return
To the land where we were born
On the shores of the Great Salt Water

What shall I tell our children?
Tell them our story
Tell them who they are
Far beyond the mountains
Where wild-men roam
Over the raging river’s foam
Follow the Whiteshell west

Great Spirit watch over our home
Until the day when I return
To the land where we were born
On the shores of the Great Salt Water
