Reclaim Oregon
Words & Melody by CJ Morrisette

There’s a darkness in the valley
You can feel it everywhere
It’s raining desperation
Everybody’s running scared
There’s a dark and rolling thunder
That’s got nowhere to go
Must be time to stand our ground in Oregon

For the sake of home and family
And everything that we hold dear
Until we draw our dying breath
We’ll push back against the fear
And pray that even when we’ve lost
Everything that we love and know
We’ll have the courage to stand our ground in Oregon

Chorus
Defend the State of Oregon defend the State of Oregon
Defend the State of Oregon defend the State of Oregon

We may not see the future
As we once thought it would be
There may not even be one
We’ll just have to wait and see
Let’s leave it in the hands of God
Live to tell the tale and hope
We reclaim the State of Oregon

Bridge
It’s looking like the end is near
Like trouble’s comin' fast
We need something to hold onto
Or our way of life won't last
No time to stop for crying
It’s time to get it done
It’s our solemn duty to defend the State of Oregon
Defend the State of Oregon

I stand before you a free man
Underneath the valley sun
I aim to live & breathe again
To see our children laugh & run
Although you may be left to wonder
How we almost lost this land we love
Don’t forget the past
Defend the State of Oregon
