Lyrics:
I fell into a dream one day, of a town where I could swim and play,
That loved its river just like the land, the Cascade Mountains, the coast, and micro beer,

———CHORUS——————
I’m a river hugger, Willamette River lover,
Your sparkling pride make me come alive, Roll on my friend Roll on. 
———END CHORUS————

Brother, take me back to days gone by, when the Grand Ronde Tribes, and the Salmon thrived,
No dams, barges, bridges or cars, just canoes and oars and swimming under stars,
      
CHORUS

Willamette Falls, our proud number two, outside of Niagara, no ones larger than you,
Would you ever guess our river has tides, always lowest when the full moon shines, so bright

CHORUS

--------THE BRIDGE-------------
What if years from now, children cry, reading history, and asking why,
You and I didn't draw a line in the sand, have the guts, to care, and take a stand, 
----------END BRIDGE----------

CHORUS

Let's make Portland shine, there's work to be done, NOW is the time, we've already begun, 
So put on your suit and join the scene, get in to your river, JUMP IN! Rip City Sing!

CHORUS

Cascadia The Free
Sung in C Major


C             ,  C 
Fly the blue, white and green, If you know what I mean 
 G  ,                                            C  
Fly it high, fly it free, From the mountains to the sea
               A minor       ,      G                   ,   C    ,      F               
We once belonged to a place called the United Snakes 
          C     ,               G      ,        C 
Til we realized were free Cascadians

We don’t need any wars, That is not what Iife’s for 
 No more blood spilt for oil, Only hands working soil 
 Let’s instead grow with love and clean rain from above
 And may the salmon fill these rivers evermore

Fly that blue, white and green, You all know what I mean 
 Our hearts love equally  There’s no room for fear and greed
Take my hand, sing with me, “Oh, Cascadia the free”  
And together we will end this tyranny  (Repeat)

(INSTRUMENTAL SOLO)

Pay attention to the ground, There is life all around  
Forests lush and waters clean, Mountain snow that fills the streams  
Listen close and you’ll know that the salmon told us so  
We must stand and protect Cascadia

When our children are old  They’ll know land can’t be sold
 And the borders will come down  Earth united as one  
They’ll think of us and they’ll say 
 (chant) “THANKS FOR DE-PAVING THE WAY”  
To a free and healthy Cascadia  so.......................
Fly that blue, white and green, You all feel what I mean  
Fly it high, fly it free, From the mountains to the sea 
 May the rain fall on us, wash away our distrust 
 Let’s join hands and overthrow this tyranny
No Tyranny! No Tyranny! We’ll...  
(OLD VERSION: make a true democracy!)  
(NEW VERSION: practice deep ecology!)  
Soon one day Cas-ca-di-a shall be free!

4 Cascadia Earth

A song for the 2012 Winter Solstice
Cover of  Charlie Murphy's song "light is returning"

Light is returning
even though this is the darkest hour
No one can hold back the dawn

Lets keep it burning
lets keep this light of hope alive 
make safe our journey through the storm

One planet is turning
circle on her path around the sun
earth mother is calling her children home


Light is Returning by Keren of Portland
