Story behind the song
An allegorical song: on one level merely a song about canoeing but on another level a song about the life beyond this portage.
Lyrics
Between the water's sweep and glide Between the whirlpool's pull packs and food and canoes we carry loaded to the full But it's earth we've got to get over to paddle once again Yes it's earth we've got to get over to paddle once again No way around it, can't be avoided so pick it up my friend You'll make it through, just keep on moving and think of what's waiting at the end But it's earth we've got to get over to paddle once again Yes it's earth we've got to get over to paddle once again (Bridge) Portage over days, hours, seasons focus ahead Straining muscles, achy feeling does it ever end? Between the water's sweep and glide Between the whirlpool's pull packs and food and canoes we carry loaded to the full But it's earth we've got to get over to paddle once again Yes it's earth we've got to get over to paddle once again
