Crossroads - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
When first I did appear[00:00:08]
Upon this native soil[00:00:10]
All up and down this country[00:00:13]
At labor I did toil[00:00:15]
I slumbered in the moonlight[00:00:18]
And I rose with the sun[00:00:20]
I rambled through the canyons[00:00:23]
Where the cold rivers run[00:00:25]
When first I did come down[00:00:30]
Where the land meets the sea[00:00:32]
The people said who are you[00:00:35]
And what would your name be[00:00:37]
I said I have no home and I am no man's son[00:00:40]
'Twas inland I was born[00:00:45]
And from inland that I come[00:00:47]
In the good land I was young and I was strong[00:00:50]
No one dared to call me son[00:00:54]
Happy just to see my day's work done[00:00:56]
See my day's work done[00:01:01]
So I swung an axe as a lumberjack[00:01:12]
And I worked the Quebec mines[00:01:14]
And on the golden prairie[00:01:17]
I rode the big combines[00:01:19]
I sailed the maritime waters[00:01:22]
Of many a seaport town[00:01:24]
Built the highways and the byways[00:01:27]
To the western salmon grounds[00:01:29]
I've gazed upon the good times[00:01:36]
I've seen the bad times too[00:01:38]
Felt many a cold and bitter wind[00:01:41]
And many a mornin' dew[00:01:43]
I've watched the country growin'[00:01:46]
Like a fair and mighty thing[00:01:48]
And on the still of a summer night[00:01:51]
I've heard the mountains ring[00:01:53]
In the good land I was young[00:01:56]
And I was strong[00:01:59]
No one dared to call me son[00:02:00]
Happy just to see my day's work done[00:02:02]
See my day's work done[00:02:07]
But now the seeds are planted[00:02:21]
And the gates are open wide[00:02:22]
The old ways are forgotten[00:02:26]
There's no place left to hide[00:02:27]
And the legacy I'm leavin'[00:02:30]
You is not very hard to find[00:02:32]
You'll see it all around[00:02:36]
You at this crossroads of time[00:02:37]
In the sweet soil it's a growin'[00:02:41]
At the crossroads of time[00:02:44]
