Gambier Island Green

Gambier Island green
Heart of the sea
Overflowing, overflowing
With light, she grows
Green heart of the west coast
Overflowing
We lie here
Like driftwood on the sand
Sea to sky, cedars stand
Arbutus hands reach for the light
Overflowing
Light overflowing
Overflowing
We lay an apple tree
Where ocean spray and cedar lean
Where maples shade filters the light
And when the day becomes
And when the day becomes the night
We’ll swim out
Under the moon and the stars
Overflowing
Overflowing
Gambier Island green
Our roots buried deep
And overflowing
Overflowing with love we grow
Part of the west coast
Overflowing with love
Overflowing with light
Overflowing with life
Overflowing
Overflowing
Overflowing
Overflowing
