Yeah… this one’s for the rivers,
For the salmon that fed the forest,
For the trees that miss the stream.
⸻
[Verse 1]
Yo, build a ladder, let the salmon climb,
Up the river, up the flow, right on time.
Viable systems, that’s what we need,
For ecology’s rhythm, for the cycle to feed.
Dams on the river, some make sense,
Hydro for the people, keep the lights intense.
But too many walls where the wild should be,
Blockin’ ancient pathways to the cedar and fir trees.
⸻
[Hook]
Break down the dams that ain’t necessary,
Let the salmon carry nutrients to the sanctuary.
Forests grow strong from the gift they release,
Natural fish emulsion—roots find peace.
Yeah, damn dams, time to breach,
Restore the flow, let the salmon teach.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Before the concrete walls, they would run so deep,
Past the valleys and the canyons where the tall pines sleep.
Bodies break down, giving life to the ground,
Nitrogen rich, where the fungi are found.
Now we starving the forest, choking the streams,
Killing the balance, blockin’ the dreams.
So breach that wall, if it don’t serve the land,
Let the river reclaim with its powerful hand.
⸻
[Hook]
Break down the dams that ain’t necessary,
Let the salmon carry nutrients to the sanctuary.
Forests grow strong from the gift they release,
Natural fish emulsion—roots find peace.
Yeah, damn dams, time to breach,
Restore the flow, let the salmon teach.
⸻
[Bridge]
This is more than a fight, it’s a sacred call,
Water to the forest, balance for all.
From the river to the ridgeline, ecosystem tight,
Healing with the salmon, bring the world back to life.
⸻
[Outro]
So build the ladders where the power must stay,
But break the barriers that stand in the way.
Health of the forest, the ocean, the land,
Depends on free rivers—time to take a stand.
