lyrics

For 100 000 years the families did roam,
With a spirit wild and high
They ran free and strong, in a wilderness home,
And those fairy tales gave no reply.
Yes, they’d be understood, if they could,
Risking a life just to feed
And raise all their young ones, in nature’s own way,
Never for evil or greed . . . please welcome:
The alpha timber wolf, she roams again,
Her time on earth now dignified.
From Bow Valley Parkway to a Wyoming range,
Can we face her eye to eye, and hear her cry?
Venture into our forest of dreams
Can you tell us what you see?
Long, dark shadows, and jungles of fear,
Or is it just you and me? Please welcome:
The alpha timber wolf, she roams again,
Her time on earth now dignified.
From Bow Valley Parkway to a Wyoming range,
Can we face her eye to eye, and hear her cry?
Wyoming Homeless, her brand new name,
Taken back in time to try.
Is she a prairie dolphin or a rancher’s disdain,
Can we make up our minds, and tell her why?
Bringing back the Nez Perce spirit ring,
Hear nature’s harmony sing?
We’re trying carefully to make amends,
Did we do the right thing? Do the right thing?

You’ll instantly catch these deep influences threaded through John’s fine vocals, lyrics, and rootsy, guitar-mastered songwriting works. This is pure Canadiana: forgotten but deserving heroes, the humility in our international image, and a superb range of tender ballads through to raw, foot-stompin’ stories that need to be told. ... more
