Oh Oregon You’re Calling Me

[Verse 1]
From Astoria down to Brookings Bay
Where sea stacks rise through ocean spray
Haystack Rock stands sentinel guard
While tides reshape the coastal yard
Pacific winds through Sitka spruce
At Cape Lookout, where seals recline
Ancient forests meet the sea
This wild coast runs so wild and free

[Chorus]
Oh Oregon, you're calling me
From mountain peaks to rolling sea
Your waters pure, your forests deep
These sacred lands we need to keep
From desert sage to cedar tree
Oh Oregon, you're calling me

[Verse 2]
The Valley stretches green and wide
Where wineries dot the countryside
From Portland down to Eugene's heart
Where farms and fields stretch out so far
The Willamette flows on down
Past Salem's shores, each river town
While ospreys soar on thermal streams
Above these fields of hopeful dreams

[Chorus]
Oh Oregon, you're calling me
From mountain peaks to rolling sea
Your waters pure, your forests deep
These sacred lands we need to keep
From desert sage to cedar tree
Oh Oregon, you're calling me

[Verse 3]
Hood and Jefferson pierce the sky
While Three Sisters watch time go by
Crater Lake's deep waters hold
Ten thousand years of stories told
Through McKenzie's rushing sound
Where ancient trees touch hallowed ground
These peaks of white watch over all
From spring until the autumn fall

[Chorus]
Oh Oregon, you're calling me
From mountain peaks to rolling sea
Your waters pure, your forests deep
These sacred lands we need to keep
From desert sage to cedar tree
Oh Oregon, you're calling me

[Verse 4]
Past Bend where high desert calls
Through Painted Hills' weathered walls
The Grande Ronde flows wild and clear
While golden eagles circle near
Steens Mountain rises proud and tall
Above the sage and waterfall
The Wallowas touch heaven's door
In this land I can't ignore

[Chorus]
Oh Oregon, you're calling me
From mountain peaks to rolling sea
Your waters pure, your forests deep
These sacred lands we need to keep
From desert sage to cedar tree

Oh Oregon, you're calling me
