Welcome to the world of the northern hemisphere 

Greet the winds of this heavenly frontier 

Water pure as the blood of Mary's son 

Cast your fears to the northern lights above 

Take the time, pull this splinter from your eye 

View her tears as they're falling from the sky

Virgin child, on the verge of great demise 

From the hands of the ruthless human kind 



Chorus: 

Don't tarnish this silver realm

Don't rain on her golden dreams 

Don't lie to these open arms 

Then wake up to find she's gone and won't be home again 



Twilight is the time, vibrant colors paint the sky 

Across the mountains, capped with snow and whipped-creamed clouds 

The wind, she sings in a whisper soft and mild

Coaxed to sleep all the children of the land 

Stand in awe as you're drifting off the shore 

Watching glaciers cast their elders to the sea 

A winter's rain cools the fever from your soul 

Bringing peace to your spirit as it soars



Our ways have turned the world around

Split the chain and broke it down

She's drowning in the dark



Goodbye to the love of the land that graced our lives 

Come corporations, watch the smoke infect the skies

Oil, it stains the beaches once alive 

Test your conscience, test your will to pull the line



So save your sister homeland, you can, you can, yeah you can
