Great Big Sea - 1986

white foam waves
crash
against rocks sending
up spray 

tiny droplets rise and fall
just in time for next
upsurge  

wondering
what can survive here
         battering rhythm beating time
against a country new and old
rugged and weathered  

song sung by
boisterous baritone rocker
beats against our rocky souls
even though we are
flat
sea-less
prairie
 
for this is our shanty too
as they adopt us into the
fold
