~ On This Island ~

On this Island, I am surrounded
By the water, teeming with life
Like the loons, my voice is calling
I am grateful, I am home.

On this Island, you are surrounded
By the air, that gives us life
Like the eagle, you are lifted
You are grateful, you are home.

On this Island, we are surrounded
By the friends, who share this life
Like the coyote, we are singing
We are grateful, we are home.

On this Island, we are surrounded
By the children, who love this life
Like the campers, for generations
They are grateful, they are home.
We're all grateful, we are home.

[This song was written by Dan Berggren in 2018 after visiting the island. He performed it at an EI fundraiser at the Wild Center that summer.]
