ONTEORA - A SONG (OF SORTS)
by Brother John Joseph

The hills are green, the air is clean,
The stream is crystal clear.
The spirit is alive up here,
A spirit like the deer.
The sun is born the moon is born
So far and yet so near.
Onteora, The Great Land in the Sky.

The thunder roars, the lightning strikes,
the rain comes tearing down.
The hand of God reaches out
And touches to the ground.
Right there the spot where it's touched
A new land can be found.
Onteora, The Great Land in the Sky. Onteora, Onteora, The Great Land in the Sky.

Give praise to God in psalm and song
Our thankfullness we show,
For rain and sun and moon and air
All all that we can know.
God's gift to us in every way
His love for us he shows.
Onteora, The Great Land in the Sky.


THE LAND IN THE SKY
by Kevin Regan

The Land in the Sky,
     Where beauty is miles wide.
Even though the days are fun,
     We all can't wait 'till day is done.
The "Bronze Gods" have their fun,
     Just lyin' in the sun.
When we go out to "The Place",
     We sometimes come back "Lost in Space".
The crackling of the birch bark,
     Makes it feel real good,
Deep inside your heart.
     The trails I love to roam,
I don't ever want to go home.
