I was there and I saw it
With my very own eyes
I was there and I saw it
Under Idaho skies
‘Twas the Greenfire Revival
They worked so hard for
‘Twas the Greenfire Revival
‘Long the old East Fork
Nestled ‘neath the Salmon
River Mountains she lies
Vibrant as a falcon
Soaring the rainbow’s light
With the chuck-chuck of the chukar
And the sage in your nose
Watch the Yellow-rumped warbler
Ignore you, so close
Feel the heartbeat of our Mother
Hear her sigh; see her face
Find here the beauty
Once so commonplace
I was there and I saw it
With my very own eyes
I was there and I saw it
Under Idaho skies
‘Twas the Greenfire Revival
They worked so hard for
‘Twas the Greenfire Revival
‘Long the old East Fork
May the greenfire burn
From the Salmon to the Snake
Through the might Columbia
To where Pacific waves break
May the healing and the beauty
So inspiring here
Stir the hearts of all people
To act without fear
For the sake of the wolf
For the least swaying grass
For the sake of the forsaken
For the sake of the past
