Northwest Passage
From Mardecristal
"Northwest Passage" is the national anthem of British Columbia.
Chorus:
Ah, for just one time, I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
To make a northwest passage to the sea.
Now let us trace together, all the children of the West
The footsteps of Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest,
Who cracked the mountain ramparts, and did show a path where we
Might race the roaring Fraser to the sea.
Repeat chorus
