Lyrics

See the bluest water.
Velvet moon and sky.
Land, he is your father.
Now I call you mine.

Wander everywhere the wind blows.
Bed down. Dreaming where the fern grows.
One tear falls into the earth.
Moonlight gazing on your birth.

Sweet and brave one.
Light is in your eyes.
Prince of Turtle Island.
Let your arrow fly.

Swim the sacred river.
Cross the other side.
Meet a tribal princess.
She will be your bride.

Kiss her down beside the water.
Give her everything you own.
Silver. A bride piece for her father.
Take her by the hand and bring her home.

Sweet and brave one.
Light is in your eyes.
Prince of Turtle Island.
Let your arrow fly.
Let your arrow fly.

Then one Autumn morning.
The west wind was blowing wild.
He looked upon his darling.
In her arms, a warrior child.

Take him far across the island.
Teach him everything you know.
Raise him with all your strength and wisdom.
You will see our nation grow.

Sweet and brave one.
Light is in your eyes.
Prince of Turtle Island.
Let your arrow fly.
