If I could take you to the ocean
I'd show you the places that made me me
If I could take you to the island
I'd show you my history
If I could take you down to Laurencton
I'd show you the cabin that my family shared
We'd gather in summer and laugh 'til our sides hurt
As Pop made the fire glow
I'd show you the rocks that we would play on
And the reason that I'm scared of seaweed
I'd show you the reason that my favourite smell
Is grass that is freshly mowed
If I could take you to the ocean
I'd show you the places that made me me
If I could take you to the island
I'd show you my history
If I could take you over to Springdale
I'd show you around the block
Where we'd play 'til evening then wake to the birds
And get back to riding our bikes
Our sheep dog would herd us like we were her flock
Through the forest where we carved our names
And when we'd get bored, I'd hear my mother say
"Go run around the house fifty times!"
If I could take you to the ocean
I'd show you the places that made me me
If I could take you to the island
I'd show you my history
If I could take you to Corner Brook,
I'd take you to my church
Where life's pain first hurt me and I fought for my faith
And I sang through what came my way
I'd take you through the halls of Grenfell college
If the walls there could speak they would sing
They'd share all the stories that led me to you
Who made me who I am today
If I could take you to the ocean
I'd show you the places that made me me
If I could take you to Newfoundland
I'd show you my history
I'd show you my history
I'd show you my history
