Song for Vesijärvi

When the ice left her
The land did rise
She came up from the dark
To the sun and the skies

She's been her daughter for
Seven thousand years
Born of the Salpausselkä
Cold and clear

Stop the flow stop the runoff
Storm water running down the sidewalks

Stop the flow stop the runoff
Storm water running down the sidewalks

Then the city grew
Consequences unforeseen
Sewage and factories
Water thick and green

Take the point and the non-point
Add them together
That's what we've got to stop
It's now or never

Stop the flow stop the runoff
Storm water running down the sidewalks

Stop the flow stop the runoff
Storm water running down the sidewalks


She's been our daughter for
Seven thousand years
Born of the Salpausselkä
Cold and clear

Stop the flow stop the runoff
Storm water running down the sidewalks

Stop the flow stop the runoff
Storm water running down the sidewalks
