Bowen Island my second home, you make me forget about feeling alone,
You raise my spirits to the sky,
Bowen Island my second home,
You’ve been my beacon threw out the nights, You’ve mended my wings and guided all of my flights.
Bowen Island my second home,
You’ve always been there to watch me grow,
, You have given me know-lodge that I didn’t know.
Bowen Island my special place,
You have always put a smile on my face.
You’ve helped me grow stronger every day, You’ve helped me grow wiser in so many ways.
Memories of you will remain in my heart I’m so sad that we must part.
