Innocence Mission

The Lakes Of Canada

Innocence Mission


Look for me another day. 
I feel that I could change, 
I feel that I could change. 
There's a sudden joy that's like 
a fish, a moving light; 
I thought I saw it 
rowing on the lakes of Canada 

Oh laughing man, what have you won? 
Don't tell me what cannot be done. 
My little mouth, my winter lungs, 
don't tell me what can't be done. 
Walking in the circle of a flashlight 
someone starts to sing, to join in. 

Talk of loneliness in quiet voices.
I am shy but you can reach me. 
Rowing on the lakes of Canada,
rowing on the lakes of Canada.
