Big Lake

From the Album Elders’ Wisdom; Children’s Song

Like a sheet of glass.
Like a roller coaster.
The moon shines like an eye
looking down upon us.
Big Lake.
Big, big, lake.
Big fresh water ocean.
Sometimes you roar
like a mountain lion.
Sometimes you are
gentle as a kitten.

Big Lake.
Big, big, lake.
Big freshwater ocean.

Steelhead, Coho,
Walleye, Chinook, Suckers,
Brook Trout, Northern Pike,
Silver Sided Salmon.
Big Lake.
Big, big, lake.
Big freshwater ocean.
