lyrics

NEW NORTHWEST
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Here I stand, a free man, I,
Finding it too hard to lie-
Your regard pleads me to stay,
Yet still I must make my way-

God has answered my one plea,
I will walk forever free,
We must part, heart to heart, though still we will always be-


ROCK & WATER, FISH & TREE
CALLING LOUD & LONG FOR ME!
FROM A LAND WHERE I'LL BE BLESSED-
A HOME WITHIN THE NEW NORTHWEST!


From the truth we cannot hide,
I cannot stay by your side-
You will have to let me go,
Knowing all that I now know-

Secrets we both have a few,
This one I have told to you,
Salt and loam, hearth and home, will give to me life anew-


There’s a time I know not when,
Separate paths may cross again-
Eyes will meet and hands will clasp,
Pain this day will loose it’s grasp-

We’ll both have our lives and still,
Of this bond not have our fill,
Trust my friend, in the end, it’s all up to Heaven’s will-


There’s the land where I’ll be blessed!
My home within the New Northwest!
