Lyrics:

                                                  
Have you ever seen the sun rise on the ocean
You'd be lucky if you lived to see it twice
I've seen it all my life
Now I'm leaving here tonight
Flying away out west without you


I'll be leaving for Alberta in the morning
I'll be back by summer praying you're still there
If the work is good and the money's fast
We might have a second chance
Go on with our lives like we did before
And stay on this island of ours forevermore


All the jets taking men from the rock to Fort McMurray
Get a little fuller every time that crude oil spikes
Mamas and their babies cry
Cause their daddy's on a suncor flight
A daddy knows just what a daddy's got to do


I'll be leaving for Alberta in the morning
I'll be back by summer praying you're still there
If the work is good and the money's fast
We might have a second chance
Go on with our lives like we did before
Stay on this island of ours forevermore


I remember the stories my daddy told me
About the fishing grounds and all their glory
They're all gone they ain't never coming back
Half in different lands living in Fort Mac
Trying to get on with their lives like they did, like they did


I'll be leaving for Alberta in the morning
I'll be back by summer praying you're still there
If the work is good and the money's fast
We might have a second chance
Go on with our lives like we did before
Stay on this island of ours forevermore
