They say it starts from tips of mountains
Ice and snow on summits high
Taken by the gales of summer
Blown towards the prairie sky
–
Across the foothills with a vengeance
Hard blizzard grows within the cloud
Alberta you must run for cover
Distant rumbling growing loud
–
Big city, heed the alpine warning
Keep rivers clean and clear within
The Rockies send a stark reminder
From glaciers pure it all begins
–
Thru flashing lightning, thunder shaking
High avalanche comes crashing down
They say it starts from tips of mountains
And ends in Calgary on the ground
