Lyrics Great Lake Swimmers

Great Lake Swimmers

This Is Not Like Home

In from the oceans they came

A vision, a shirt, and a name

But these lands they are wild

And these hands they are tame

Don't forget your own

Wilderness wish

that gets buried in snow

Call it 'home'

It's lumber and stone

Stranded and free

This is not like home

This is not like home

When you feel alone

In a world that's not your own

Not at all, not at all

Not at all, not at all

Not at all, not at all

Awake at the break of the day

It's work, and it brings in the pay

There's a lonely dirt road

Leading back, through the trees

There's a wagon that takes them away

Don't forget your own

Wilderness wish

that gets buried in snow

Call it 'home'

It's lumber and stone

Trapped, stranded and free

This is not like home

This is not like home

This is not like home

This is not like home
