[00:00.640]Ah, for just one time
[00:04.872]I would take the Northwest Passage
[00:09.156]To find the hand of Franklin
[00:12.604]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[00:16.575]Tracing one warm line
[00:20.806]Through a land so wild and savage
[00:25.143]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[00:33.188]Westward from the Davis Strait
[00:36.480]'Tis there 'twas said to lie
[00:40.764]The sea route to the Orient
[00:44.186]For which so many died
[00:48.470]Seeking gold and glory,
[00:51.135]Leaving weathered, broken bones
[00:54.792]And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones
[01:01.688]Ah, for just one time
[01:06.730]I would take the Northwest Passage
[01:11.197]To find the hand of Franklin
[01:14.619]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[01:18.772]Tracing one warm line
[01:22.847]Through a land so wild and savage
[01:27.445]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[01:34.837]Three centuries thereafter
[01:38.129]I take passage overland
[01:42.491]In the footsteps of brave Kelso
[01:45.940]Where his "sea of flowers" began
[01:50.093]Watching cities rise before me
[01:53.254]Then behind me sink again
[01:57.564]This tardiest explorer
[02:01.273]Driving hard across the plain
[02:05.192]Ah, for just one time
[02:09.424]I would take the Northwest Passage
[02:13.891]To find the hand of Franklin
[02:17.208]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[02:21.518]Tracing one warm line
[02:25.620]Through a land so wild and savage
[02:30.008]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[02:37.819]And through the night, behind the wheel
[02:41.737]The mileage clicking west
[02:45.055]I think upon Mackenzie,
[02:48.033]David Thompson and the rest
[02:51.925]Who cracked the mountain ramparts
[02:55.295]And did show a path for me
[02:59.918]To race the roaring Fraser to the sea
[03:06.423]Ah, for just one time
[03:11.647]I would take the Northwest Passage
[03:16.114]To find the hand of Franklin
[03:19.458]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[03:23.716]Tracing one warm line
[03:27.948]Through a land so wild and savage
[03:32.415]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[03:39.990]How then am I so different
[03:43.125]From the first men through this way?
[03:47.748]Like them, I left a settled life
[03:51.327]I threw it all away
[03:54.775]To seek a Northwest Passage
[03:57.832]At the call of many men
[04:02.194]To find there but the road back home again
[04:08.777]Ah, for just one time
[04:14.054]I would take the Northwest Passage
[04:18.756]To find the hand of Franklin
[04:22.230]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[04:26.566]Tracing one warm line
[04:31.060]Through a land so wild and savage
