Lyrics | It’s Happening Today in Everybody’s Bay

Rivers rolling down to the sea, that’s usually where the bays will be
three sides land, one side open, to the fresh water lake or the salt water ocean

From my yard and my street, All the water runs to the Chesapeake!
From central New York, to Virginia Beach, All the rivers roll to the Chesapeake!

CHORUS

Hey, hey, it happened today! It happened today in the Chesapeake Bay!
Hey, hey it happened today! It happened today in everybody’s Bay!

from my yard, down the street through the sewer, to the creek,
to the river, consider what water seeks
it flows to where the land is low
commanded by gravity to the Bay it flows
from the mountains melting snow and rain
from the farms and the city storm drains
from our actions and the life we’ve led
we’re living and giving to our own watershed

Chorus

So when Bodies of water open out to the sea
that’s a bay like the Delaware and the Fundy
Like Mobile, Cape Cod and San Francisco
The Hudson and Galveston and the Prudhoe
There’s Tampa, Narragansett and Green Bay
The Georgian, Coos and Monterey
Saginaw, Florida and Chincoteaque.
Each one’s a Bay and each one’s unique
