Song information
Nature tune about changing of seasons and outdoor wilderness survival. Lyrics partially inspired by Jack London's writings, particularly "The Son Of The Wolf." Might be part of an album I've been thinking of putting together which would be kind of like Thoreau's "Walden" set to music, but different.

Lyrics
Rising from the cave
I give thanks for the blue sky
Grass and stream yield things one needs to get by
View the surroundings
For life signs and foliage

With the warm weather
I find it might be strange
Can't picture colder months
Or any need to rearrange
With all civilization gone
Gone from the eyes

And now it is December
The crops are frozen gone
I head south and look for game
In a climate milder calm
When in for the kill
Remember this way of life
CHORUS:
Every sentient living creature has the hour
And every being that knows of this soon finds its power
So let the trees grow
Let the birds fly
Let the streams run
Let the winds cry 
Cause time is moving on

In the far country
Forget many things I've learned
To make it to the Yukon
Is something to have earned
To abandon the old ways
Is a source of pleasure

Where this cabin came from nobody knows
With provisions and stock my confidence grows
I wait and watch for the colder days ahead

The fear of the north
The dark of december
Keep your wits to you
And a sense of life
In chilling surroundings
It's hard to remember

REPEAT CHORUS:
