"You Are The Wind Through My Leaves"

[Intro]
The thunder calls where the rivers meet
A crown of waters, fierce and sweet

[Verse 1]
From Horseshoe's roar to American spray
The cataracts thunder both night and day
Rainbows arch in the trembling mist
A timeless wonder our Earth has kissed

[Chorus]
Guard these wild waters, let their voices sing
Majestic torrents born of eternal spring
From ancient ice to the border's shore
May their thundering beauty forever endure

[Verse 2]
The air is charged with an endless might
A veil of diamonds in the morning light
Every breath taken tastes of storm and stone
And this living river claims its mighty throne

[Verse 3]
Legends echo of daredevils bold
Of barrels and tightropes in stories told
But deeper still is the native song
A sacred river that's flowed so long

[Bridge]
Oh, hear the call of the waters below
A hymn unbroken, a ceaseless flow
Hold fast this wonder, protect these lands
For our world has but a few such strands

[Verse 4]
By twilight's glow and moonlit skies
The roaring veil forever cries
A bond between nations, both strong and free
The Falls are a covenant of eternity

[Chorus]
Guard these wild waters, let their voices sing
Majestic torrents born of eternal spring
From ancient ice to the border's shore
May their thundering beauty forever endure

[Chorus]
Guard these wild waters, let their voices sing
Majestic torrents born of eternal spring
From ancient ice to the border's shore
May their thundering beauty forever endure

[Instrumental Outro: A sweeping, orchestral-folk swell — strings and guitar mimicking the cascade — fading to the soft rush of water]
