lyrics

Bella Coola Man

If you need a little change in your life
You could take Highway 20 West
Big mountains and crazy turns
Put yourself through a little test

They call this the Great Bear Rainforest
Open up your eyes
Around every corner
Can be another surprise

Hey I’m a Bella Coola man
My home is right here
One man’s joy
Can be another man’s fear
I’m happy to be
A Bella Coola man

Charlotte’s in St. John’s with her mother
It’s hard when she goes away
Our kids both live in Vancouver now
They come back but they’ll never stay

Our daughter’s an East End barmaid
She’s got a grizzly bear tattoo
Says whenever I flex my right arm
I’m thinking of you

People built this road when they were told
It could never be built - no way
You can still feel that spirit here
It’s alive and well… on this beautiful day
