Bow River, Bow River, O where is your quiver
Where are the arrows you hide deep inside
Take aim for the moon, let them fly thru the heavens
Shooting like stars over Calgary skies
–
Bow River, Bow River, melt of glaciers deliver
Water flows pure from the mountaintops high
Your destiny’s duty to guard and protect it
Transporting for all under big prairie sky
–
Bow River, Bow River, always generous giver
Jubilation you bring to Alberta’s dry land
For water is life, you bestow of it freely
Grateful animals drink from the palm of your hand
–
Bow River, Bow River, mighty warrior consider
While forward you lead, we’ll be watching your back
To be perfectly clear, we can’t take you for granted
Drought and pollution will sneak and attack
