Gary Fjellgaard Song Lyrics > Contenders

We are the wind from the west,
Blowin' through those Rocky Mountains
We are leaving the nest,
Warm Pacific Islands,
We are holding the western banner high,
That wind just keeps on blowin'

We are the wind from the west,
We come with guitars blazing,
When we are put to test,
You just might love what we're doing,
We'll blow through every nook and cranny of Canada,
That wind just keeps on blowin',

Like that down home kitchen music of the maritimes,
We have our own tradition filled with cowboy pride,
Just watch us ride, across that great divide.

Comme les Francophones et tous les autres Canadiennes
This wind from the west can stand the test of time,
And we'll keep it flying, across the great divide

We are the wind from the west,
Sweeping 'cross the prairies,
We are doing our best,
Making music, making memories,
Making friends from sea to shining sea,
That wind just keeps on blowin',
Making friends from sea to shining sea,
From sea to shining sea,
That wind just keeps on blowing.
