The North Songtext
von Gord Downie

Hello boys, we are up in the North
On the Western side, James Bay
Keeping things real and
keeping things day to day
You let me walk to the edge
with a smile and such as
Did not die today and you
taught me more than they ever would
Ever could
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey


My bottom world I′d never seen
wasn't allowed to see the life of the North
in a Canada we should have never called Canada
You showed me around a bit, showed me a bit
of the past and showed me a future broken into bits
You showed me a love with a higher cooler style
or showed me a problem that is over 100 years old

Of parents without kids, without parents, without kids,
without parents, without kids, without parents, without
kids

Hello boys, out in the bush let′s forget things for
a while
Let's turn our faces to the sun and get
whatever warmth there is
in the unnoticed world
The missing dusted world
Undescrible world, the interest that anyone took
Let's turn our faces to the sun and get
whatever warmth there is
