We are tomorrow made from yesterday

Living on stoney, shallow soil

Stubborn beauty under a fickle sun

Looking back to see how far we’ve come

Another failure means another try

And that’s the reason we’ve survived

Our faith is still and constant as our pride

Like the ocean deep as it is wide

Rise up winds and blow

You could never make us go

Our roots run deeper than you know

Rise up winds and blow

Rise up winds and blow

We were born into a way of life

Built around the land and sea

Cultivating things we’d never own

Whether mined or fished or grown

Rise up winds and blow

You could never make us go

Our roots run deeper than you know

Rise up winds and blow

Rise up winds and blow

As the colors from a fading sun

Disappear behind the hills

Tomorrow waits for us to make our way

With everything we’ve learned from yesterday

Rise up winds and blow

You could never make us go

Our roots run deeper than you know

Rise up winds and blow

Rise up winds and blow

You could never make us go

Our roots run deeper than you know

Rise up winds and blow

Rise up winds and blow

Rise up winds and blow

Rise up winds and blow
