Cascadia The Free
By Little Bear and the Fostervillagers
C
Fly the blue, white and green,
If you know what I mean
G
Fly it high, fly it free,
C
From the mountains to the sea
Am G
We once belonged to a place
C F
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 (x2)
(INSTRUMENTAL + KAZOO 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
G
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
Am G
No Tyranny! No Tyranny!
C F
We’ll practice Deep Ecology!
C
Soon one day
G C
Cas-ca-di-a shall be free!
