From the salty sea the Ojibway came to the Shores of Whitefish island From France came the voyageurs to trade and to Sing À la claire fontaine From out of the mist came the blackcoat priests With the cross and the name of Jesus Then the redcoats came and the words That soon echoed in the woods were English These woods they felt the footprints of the Ancestors of Shingwauk These waters heard the words Of Étienne Brûlé as he talked These clouds saw father Druillettes pray for Sick Ojibway families These whitefish leaped into the nets Of Alexander Henry Welcome home, every bird is singing Welcome home, every tree is swaying Welcome home, every river is an Endless poem Every rock and every stone Has a voice all of its own And I hear them saying, welcome home This air has danced to the tune of the Irish Accent of John Johnston These trees have given sugar to his Chippewa wife Susan These shores have watched the anger and the Trials of John Tanner These flowers sighed as Jane Schoolcraft Wept for the son who'd left her Welcome home, every bird is singing Welcome home, every tree is swaying Welcome home, every river is an Endless poem Every rock and every stone Has a voice all of its own And I hear them saying, welcome home From the streets of Montreal came a young man Named Ermatinger From Sandy Lake he brought his wife and he Made a stone house for her From the rolling hills of Scotland Joseph Wilson brought his vision From a dedicated angry mind Judge John Prince brought decisions Welcome home, every bird is singing Welcome home, every tree is swaying Welcome home, every river is an Endless poem Every rock and every stone Has a voice all of its own And I hear them saying, welcome home Every rock and every stone Has a voice all of its own And I hear them saying, welcome home
