I have left the ground behind
On windy whispers I am climbing
Passed the spruce and spindly pine
Where winding waters sing
Mama moose and grizzly bear
With finned and feathered they do share
That wild country lying there
Beneath this redbird's wing
Floes of ice and fields of snow
Great granite ledges far below
No, I am a climber in my soul
In search of everything
I am moving flying free
Yet oh so small as i've come to see
That shining mountain over me
And beneath this redbird's wing
Roll and tumble dip and glide
Tiny shadow on the mountainside
Here feelings have no place to hide
Beneath this redbird's wing
Here feelings have no place to hide
Beneath this redbird's wing
Roll and tumble dip and glide
Tiny shadow on the mountainside
Here feelings have no place to hide
Beneath this redbird's wing
Here feelings have no place to hide
Beneath this redbird's wing
I have left the ground behind
On windy whispers I am climbing
Passed the spruce and spindly pine
Where winding waters sing
Mama moose and grizzly bear
With finned and feathered they do share
That wild country lying there
Beneath this redbird's wing
Oh, that wild country lying there
Beneath this redbird's wing
