Redemption Island
by John Michael Ray

Across the Juan De Fuca Strait
In the shadows of the great divide
A western, Pacific paradise
Where wave and land collide
Some call it home, some call it native land
Where all are free to roam
It’s been a half a century or more
She’s finally calling me home

So, I follow the setting sun
To Vancouver Island
Oh my kingdom come
She’s my redemption Island

From Sunshine Coast to Fort Victoria
The Strait of Georgia’s alive
The land of totems rising up
Welcome all who arrive
I feel her pulling, I hear the cry
I’ve read the writing in stone
It’s been a half a century or more
She’s finally calling me home

So I follow the setting sun
To Vancouver Island
Oh, my kingdom come
She’s my redemption island
