VERSE I
A mountain town with mountain roads
A mountain rain to overflow

the crowsnest pass down the eastern slope
Running up a river high


God willing, the city's safe
but God works in a special way
to curse the sky but to keep the faith

while the waters start to rise

[CHORUS]

Well the banks gave way and she tore through the foothills
and started filling up the streets
Four feet and rising to the bottom of the windows

of the houses that they had to leave
but it'll take much more than the mighty Bow River
if the people hold hand in hand

than flood the land.
The city that never fell
come HIGH WATER OR HELL


VERSE II
Devastation, where to start

a leader's head and a cowboy's heart
a neighbours loss felt from afar
to show a cities worth


Overcame and come what may,
hard times had their stay

to bring the people together and celebrate
the greatest outdoor show on earth


[CHORUS]

Let the world remember how they made it through


[CHORUS
