because our coast is our future
a space we share with the many
now working loving and playing
and the many who will come after
working and loving and playing
because this is where we walked
this is where we swam
and the pictures taken here
beneath the riverbed
are lines to our anchor souls
because the ecos in our economies
is the same ecos as in our ecologies
and our not dwelling on this fact
lays waste to all homes of all things
that may be dwelling here
because this is where we walked
this is where we swam
and the pictures taken here
beneath the river bed
run right through our lotic souls
because our coast is our future
a space we will share with the many
now working loving and playing
and the many who will come after
working and loving and playing
Capital—we are coming
and we will defend our coast
link arms and defend our coast
sing this song to defend our coast
walk forward to defend our coast
