A song about love and perseverance -- from the point of view of a fish.

lyrics

I'm A Salmon In The River (c) 2017 John Croizat

I'm a salmon in the river swimming upstream
I'm a salmon in the river, no one's gonna catch me
A thousand miles I'll travel, to find love in the gravel
I'm a salmon in the river, no one's gonna catch me

Snow falls on the mountain in the winter
Melts into a river in the spring
Wild and running free, that river was meant for me
I'm a salmon in the river, no one's gonna catch me

I never knew my mother or my father
I'll never see my children at all
But that's my destiny and what will be will be
I'm a salmon in the river, no one's gonna catch me

I swimming to the head waters of my birth
No place more sacred on this earth
I know my destiny, my part in pro-creation
I'm a salmon in the river, no one's gonna catch me

I'm a salmon in the river swimming upstream
I'm a salmon in the river, no one's gonna catch me
A thousand miles I'll travel, to find love in the gravel
I'm a salmon in the river, no one's gonna catch me
