Just As It Should Be From the "Caribou Commons" CD （c）（p） Matthew Lien / Whispering Willows Music 1999
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
