| | | Artist: | JOHN DENVER |

Whalebones and crosses stand against the Arctic sky.
The wind blows through
the graveyard where our fallen fathers lie.
Eternal snow that covers them, the shadows of the
sun.
The mighty struggle on the seas, a way of life is run.
I'll sing for you my
father, for the ancient sacred ways.
How the hunter loved the hunted, how the night becomes the
day.
The circle of the mighty spirit keeps us in its fold.
The warmth of understanding like
a light shot through the cold.
Then bring to me my people, touch them with your loving
hands.
Lead them from confusion, lead them back unto the land.
For sickness seems to block
their path, it clouds my people's eyes.
The promise that an idle truth will reap a golden
lie.
Whalebones and crosses stand against the Arctic sky.
The wind blows through the
graveyard where our fallen fathers lie.
The timeless hunt, a journey back to what we once came
from.
Compassion and nobility beneath the midnight sun.
The mighty struggle on the seas, a
way of life is run. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
