Prayer For Bristol Bay

Prayer For Bristol Bay
by Si Kahn & Tom Chapin
© Joe Hill Music & The Last Music Co. (ASCAP)

You and me and Mother Earth hold our breath
What is gold and copper worth? Life or death
For a fisherman and fishery
Up here in the Bering Sea
Murder in the first degree
May the whole world listen
And join with us today
With hopeful hearts we offer up
A prayer for Bristol Bay

Turn around, and tell your neighbor, tell your friend
About this magic wild place we will defend
From the banker and the profiteer
Who pray that we will disappear
But we return year after year
May the whole world listen
And join with us today
With hopeful hearts we offer up
A prayer for Bristol Bay

May the wild salmon come and fill your nets
May we make it safely home, no regrets
May our great grandchildren stay
To live and love another day
And work the boats on Bristol Bay
May the whole world listen
And join with us today
With hopeful hearts we offer up
A prayer for Bristol Bay
May the whole world listen
And join with us today
With hopeful hearts we offer up
A prayer for Bristol Bay

This song appears on Tom Chapin's 70 CD.
