PRICE ON HEAVEN (Song for Bristol Bay) / Susan Shann / © 2016

Along the shores of Bristol Bay in the land of the midnight sun
An eagle soars, caribou graze and the mighty salmon run
It’s a home, a church, a playground, feeds body, mind and soul
Tell me, why would anyone risk it all for the price of a pot of gold?

‘You can’t put a price on Heaven
You can’t steal from God’s own hand
And his masterpiece is written
In these waters and this land
Go on, talk about your profits
Go on try, but you’re gonna fail
You can’t put a price on Heaven
And Bristol Bay is not for sale

These are crazy times we live in where money and power reign
Where we sacrifice the real thing for material gain
‘Cause you can’t buy back a mountain, or a forest or a stream...
No, you can’t take out the poison from what was pure and running clean

You can’t put a price on Heaven
You can’t steal from God’s own hand
And his masterpiece is written
In these waters and this land
Go on, talk about your profits
Go on try, but you’re gonna fail
You can’t put a price on Heaven
And Bristol Bay is not for sale

Yeah, we all love our children - I know this much is true
But our dreams for their future come down to what we do
To the seventh generation is the promise we must make
To leave things better than we found them
To give more than we take

And not put a price on Heaven
Not steal from God’s own hand
‘Cause his Masterpiece is written
In these waters and this land
Not bow to greed or profit
If we do, then we’re gonna fail
You can’t put a price on Heaven
And Bristol Bay is not for sale
No, it’s not for sale
