about

Another environmental song, this one deals with the potential damage of putting a gas pipeline in the wrong place, in this case, a fragile point beneath the Santa Fe River in Northern Florida. 3rd Place Our Santa Fe River Competition.

lyrics

Take Care of the Santa Fe

Santa Fe – see her winding, lazy, in the sun.
Santa Fe – feel her giving life to everyone.
She’s our legacy. Take care of the Santa Fe for me.

As a child, I fished along her banks -
little cricket on my line -
Hoping for a catch as big as me -
catfish would suit me fine.
My daddy would watch me with a smile
glad to see me play
`longside of the river that he loved.
One day I heard him say

Santa Fe – see her winding, lazy, in the sun.
Santa Fe – feel her giving life to everyone.
She’s our legacy. Take care of the Santa Fe for me.

Daddy came to see me in a dream
Said “I am filled with fear.
Something is endangering our river.
I feel it drawing near.
It smells of toxic chemicals and money
and it rumbles underground,
travelin’ from its home in Alabama,
Easterward bound.

Santa Fe – see her winding, lazy, in the sun.
Santa Fe – feel her giving life to everyone.
She’s our legacy. Take care of the Santa Fe for me.

They say the pipeline’s safe,
they call it progress.
But I think we could find
a better way.
We need clean water more than we need methane.
My daddy understood. One day I heard him say

Santa Fe – see her winding, lazy, in the sun.
Santa Fe – feel her giving life to everyone.
She’s our legacy. Take care of the Santa Fe for me.
