lyrics

So long ago we came to this island
an island rising in the Salish Sea
we made our home on fields and hills
on this island
this Earth island
anchored to the sea

Time weathers us as rocks eroding
time lays years on our hearts and hands
yet time conceives a timeless Love
for this island
this ancient island
standing in the sea

We praise your wild abundant beauty
still coursing through every season’s change
your many faces never hiding from our gaze
shape-shifting island
eternal island
wedded to the sea

For all who live on this island
upon the earth, in the sea and sky
we hold our future in our hands
our Earth island
this fragile island
in the Salish Sea
