Discovering Theme Song Lyrics

 



Written and performed by local artist Mark Mitchell

The secret streams that flow beneath the cliff of colored stone

The forests thick and healthy with birch and pine and oak

Surrounded by the greatest lakes this world has ever known

The black bear’s awesome presence as he roams the hills and fields

The call of the timber wolf, the loon’s lonesome trill

The eagle soaring high above, the trout lies deep and still

Chorus

These are what I treasure, the only way I measure

The feelings that I have for this fine land

There is so much to discover when you’re a long time lover

Of Northern Michigan

Chorus

The ghostly silent passing of the white tail in the dawn

The silver flashing salmon on their yearly spawning run

The chorus of the northern geese beneath an autumn sun

The customs and the people from a dozen foreign lands

The years of toil that’s written in their faces, on their hands

The children’s laugh, the women’s strength, the courage of the men

Chorus
