Gambier Island Green - Said The Whale

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
