[Verse 1]
Westward from the Davis Strait
'Tis there 'twas said to lie
A sea route to the Orient
For which so many died
Seeking gold and glory
Leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones
[Chorus]
Ah, for just one time
I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line
Through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[Verse 2]
Three centuries thereaftеr
I take passage overland
In thе footsteps of brave Kelsey
Where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me
And behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer
Driving hard across the plain
Westward from the Davis Strait
'Tis there 'twas said to lie
A sea route to the Orient
For which so many died
Seeking gold and glory
Leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones
[Chorus]
Ah, for just one time
I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line
Through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[Verse 2]
Three centuries thereaftеr
I take passage overland
In thе footsteps of brave Kelsey
Where his "sea of flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me
And behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer
Driving hard across the plain
