lyrics

Dedicated to the health and return of clean pure water, tall strong trees and the salmon of life and wisdom, to the preservation of the Eyak Rain Forest and the Copper River Delta.


There's a river of birds in migration
a nation of women with wings.
There's a river of birds in migration
a nation of children who sing.
There's a river of birds in migration,
a nation of souls who bring
Poetry and prophecy
Ancient cedar, hazelnut tree
Apple bough and silver bells
Weaving the stories of unity.

Following, following the river home
Following the river home.
O'er misty mountain, cutting through stone
I'm following the river home.
Original blessing, wi-na-de-ya-ho
I'm following the river home.

Following, following the river home
I'm following the river home.
Ancestor dreams, a journey of soul
We're singing the salmon back home
We're singing the salmon back home.

Hey ya! Skookcumchuck
Clear strong waters flowing
Forest, river, ocean tide
Oh let salmon live
Oh let wisdom live

Following, following the river home
We're following the river home.
Waters of life, heart of the trees,
We're singing our beauty back home
Mother nature- wild and free
We're singing our beauty back home.

Following, following the river home
Earth and Sum, Moon and Stars
I'm following the river home.
