I’ve been living, in the city
I could tell you, the nights are grand
The music’s sweet, and the girls are pretty
But in my heart, I’m a northern man

From Great Slave Lake, to the ocean
Forest and tundra, seekers did sweep
Norman Wells oil, Fort Simpson furs
Tragically, disease would reap

Say hello, to the River Mackenzie
You know I’ll be coming home
Say hello, to the River Mackenzie
You know I can’t make it alone
Say hello, to the Big River
I’ll be back on your shore
Say hello, to the Big River
My friend, I hear your rapids roar

From Asia came, the first humans
Crossing your path, a frozen bridge
Then came the gold, and the gold hunters
Passing through, where the spirit lives

I’ve been searching, for some meaning
I can tell you, it’s not down this way
I’ve been lonely, and I’ve been dreaming
And in my soul, I’ve something to say

Say hello, to the River Mackenzie
You know I’ll be coming home
Say hello, to the River Mackenzie
You know I can’t make it alone
Say hello, to the Big River
I’ll be back on your shore
Say hello, to the Big River
My friend, I hear your rapids roar

Say hello, to the River
Say hello, to the River

Say Hello to the Big River

I think the lyrics pretty much speak for themselves, or was that me?

Well alright!

As Another Train Passes By (G. Di Nunno)
V1:
Compared to friends an envy builds
Better than the life you lead
The pictures bleed their happiness
Wonder how you're falling short.

Pre-Ch:
There's something wrong
Depressed for days
Life drags you along.

Chorus:
Risks not taken from comfort zones
Nothing's gonna change
Feel the burning in your bones
As another train passes by.

V2: 
Must have these things from all that work
Damn the cost though all is high
Accumulate, unsatisfied
Sleep is lost; the bills are due.

PC:
Economy 
Is running fine
You're the one who's broke.

CH:
Ventured far in the darkened woods
Bought the plan as sold
Keeping up is hard as hell
As another train passes by.

Bridge:
You lost yourself as the game is rigged
The disappointment shows
In competition some must lose
Never thought it could be you.

Double Ch:
Time it takes to reach solid ground
Best to give it all
Lose the envy, don't compare
'Cause regret awaits, years will fly.

Knock the obstacles one by one
All there's left to do
Don't forget to keep an ear
Jump aboard the train coming by.

#12. As Another Train Passes By

All of the people throughout history
Who used the earth so thoughtlessly
Now there’s not much left for us at all
Cause our shortsighted ancestors dropped the ball

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

The old people speak with a gleam in their eyes
Of childhood memories and clear crystal skies
They say that once the sky was blue
And children played upon the land

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time 

Our ancestors were shortsighted and now their children pay
Awakening each morning to greet the tainted day
Gazing out across an endless barren plain
No more amber waves of grain

If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time
