about

Dedicated to the dismantling of the dams on the Klamath River in Northern California. Bring back the salmon!

lyrics

Prayer for the River - Joanne Rand 2007
Sing a prayer for the river:
May you run wild and free and long
Sing a prayer for the river:
May you run clear and cold and strong
May your people do no wrong
May your waters hold our song
Sing a prayer for the river
Sing a prayer for the salmon:
Multiply, dive and leap in wild abandon
Sing a prayer for the salmon:
Circling, circling feel the impulse
Feel the urge and lay your eggs
Clear cold water rushing downstream
Full grown salmon are returning
Sing a prayer for the salmon
Sing a prayer for the river
Sing a prayer for each other.
