Call of the Moose

I listened to the older folks To what they have to say I listened to the waterfall Begging for another day I listened to an eagle cry Dying high in the sky I listened to the call of the moose As she lies down to die Don't you know You gotta let them be Don't you know Can't you see I listen to man of the law I listened to his way I listen to the crack of the gun I'm the one that had to pay And I listen to the Ojibwa chant And to the drumming of the Cree And I listen to the cry of the people Dying of mercury Don't you know You gotta let them be Don't you know Can't you see Don't you know You gotta let them be And I listen to the whip-poor-will The crickets all in tune I listen to the dying trees And to the whistling of the loon I listen to the howling wolf Echo throughout the night I listen to the bark of the seal He's just a bloody sight Don't you know You gotta let them be Don't you know Can't you see Don't you know gotta let them be Don't you know Can't you see
