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!
