Have you seen the face of glory
Have you felt the power within
Have you been to where the hands of
Time stands still and life begins
Have you seen the winter's longing
For the summer rains
Wildflowers announce the dawning
Spring is on the Coastal Plain
(Chorus)
It is the song of the mountains
Above the Arctic Sea
It is the song of the rivers
That are flowing over me
It is the song of the children
The wild and the free
This is the heart of a refuge
The heart of you and me
Everywhere is life returning
Sacred is the destiny
Everywhere the children learning
What it is that they will be
Seasons come and seasons go
And rivers overflow
Gather now the herds of summer
Autumn is the time to go
(Chorus)
It is the song of the mountains
Above the Arctic Sea
It is the song of the rivers
That are flowing over me
It is the song of the children
The wild and the free
This is the heart of a refuge
The heart of you and me
