Rivers are the veins of our planet. This song is for the Middle Fork of the Salmon.

lyrics

I made my home
Under these Ponderosas
And the river beside me
She's my love
A real woman
curves miles deep
Home of Shoshone
Sacajawea and Aggipah
Their stories left on the stone
Standing thousands of feet tall
This River that Flows
Is a River that knows Peace
This land that cries
Is a land that won't lie
To you or me
Working hard every day now
Every hour of sun and storm
It's what we live for
and you won't be the same
This River that flows
Is a River that knows Peace
This land that cries
Is a land that won't lie
To you or me
Oh she's a sad land
Raped of her people
With bloodshed on hands
Of pioneers, Warriors rest
To fuel the fire in
Mother Nature's Chest
I miss my home
And all my friends now
Living down by the sea
Send all my love to my Mama
'cause I know she worries
This River that flows
Is a River that knows Peace
This land that cries
Is a land that won't lie
To you or me
Please Keep Her Clean
Please Keep Her Clean
