Silver Salmon
Oh silver salmon
You’re swimming up the creek
Many in numbers, and a gift from above
You give us food to eat
Battling bears and jagged rocks
You’re never gonna stop
Flying up the river, you never change your ways
To make it to the top
Oh, oh, oh, oh, thank you for the food you give
Oh, oh, silver salmon, you help our people thrive and live
Oh, oh, oh, oh, thank you for the food you give
Oh, oh, silver salmon, you help our people thrive and live
The big man tries to pollute our waters
We always make a stand
The salmon of the waters, belong to us
This is our native land
So many days and nights go by
Where we depend on you
Oh silver salmon, where do you go
We mourn and weep for you
Searching for a way to get back home
Mighty salmon it won’t be long
Fighting through the river in schools of rage
Trying to dodge your endangered phase
When you finally reach the place of your destiny
You lay your eggs for my people and me
You die in the river then sink to the sand
Oh mighty salmon, was it part of your plan
