Search results for 'prairie wake-robin'

Oh, the mountains and the peaks
Buried deep in winter's sheets
The sun is shining through the trees
The birds are silenced by the freeze
Every songbird waits its chance
Before the busy bees begin their spring dance
To wake the stiffened land from its sleep
And guide the sun over every icy stream
Lonely slumber beneath the leaves
Until summer and the life it brings
All the grasslands buried deep
But still the rivers run just as free
Soon the bugs and flowers wake
And poke through the frost, the brightest green
Join the sparrows in their song
And wish the summer air stays for long
Well the world's in a tizzy, making up for time it lost
Eager robin mothers weaving cradles out of moss
Coyote pups scamper 'cross the emerald sea of grains
While riverbound grizzlies hit that water like a train
Well the warbler's got their wish
Now the sun's a-shining high
O'er Lethbridge Valley,
Where the prairie meets the pines
And I'll tell you nothing's sweeter
Than seeing this frontier land
Give life to all its creatures
Except for goddamned man
Well the warbler's got their wish
Now the sun's a-shining high
O'er Lethbridge Valley,
Where the prairie meets the pines
And I'll tell you nothing's sweeter
Than seeing this frontier land
Give life to all its creatures
Except for goddamned man
