From the scenic Codroy Valley to the rustic southern shore,
From the rolling Long Range Mountains to the cliffs of Labrador,
From the woodlands and the highlands to the mighty ocean deep,
She's ours for this moment, but just not ours to keep.
When my day on earth is ended with the passage of the time,
May the measure of my lifetime be the things I left behind;
Will the lakes be pure and pretty, and the mountains oh so steep,
In the land my children borrow that's never ours to keep?
This island that we live on, both majestic and small,
With coves, bays, and inlets, and mountains so tall,
With wide open spaces and waters so deep,
She's ours just to borrow, but just not ours to keep.
Will the brooks run unpolluted to the broad Atlantic shore?
Will the forest teem with wildlife? Will the birds still haunt the moor?
Will the clouds hang clear and pretty around our mountain peaks,
In this land that's ours to borrow, but never ours to keep?
This island that we live on, both majestic and small,
With coves, bays, and inlets, and mountains so tall,
With wide open spaces and waters so deep,
She's ours just to borrow, but just not ours to keep.
She's ours just to borrow, but just not ours to keep.
