Hi! I just stumbled along this song- it's great!! I learned it at camp and recently found it in my three song books I've compiled over the years.
LIFE OF A VOYAGER -chorus- The life of a voyager that of a sojourner travelin' around and round, but not from town to town travelin' the lakes and streams, follows his distant dreams peace on the waterways, clear skies and cloudy days... my heart has but one home, from which I'll never roam; Land of true happiness, Canadian Wilderness. _____________ The call of the lonely loon, coyotes howlin' at the moon; wind rustling through the trees, that's the Canadian breeze; smoke rising from the fire, up to the trees going higher and higher. reach to the sky in the evening glow, sun goes down no northwinds blow. -chorus- The mist from the distant falls, distant hooting of the owls, fire crackling through the night, rising fog at dawn's first light. Fall, when leaves come tumbling down, winter's blanket covers the ground. Zephyrs whispering through the pines, voyager's heritage, this is mine. -chorus- The life of a voyager, that of a sojourner, clear as a northern stream, key to his distant dream Someday he'll find it there, place where he'll lose all care Loons cry and the winds blow free, he'll find his liberty.
