Just As It Should Be
Just As It Should Be
From the "Caribou Commons" CD

Relentlessly, the Arctic Sea resounds upon the shore
Mew gulls court the waves report,
just as ten-thousand years before
And coming through, the caribou renew the ancient round
And as they do, a chosen few return their bodies to the ground
And It is tragic, it is pure
To survive is to endure
And all is just as it should be
The coastal plain, the Arctic Sea
And Summer herds move on towards the call of distant lands
Leaving only memories, and cloven hoof-prints in the sand
And the ocean glimmers gold tonight, bathed in Arctic light
Somewhere a tern takes rest from flight
Somewhere a calf will die tonight
And It is tragic, it is pure
To survive is to endure
And all is just as it should be
The coastal plain, the Arctic Sea
And all is just as it should be
