Michigan WaterWays Anthem

There’s a call

across the lakes

Calling us

to make a change

Plastic caught in reeds and stone

Michigan won’t stand alone

Bring your hands, bring your light

WaterWays Stewards unite

Every piece we pull away

Makes a little room for day

Michigan, run clear and free

WaterWays Stewards by the sea We lift the weight,

we heal the shore Leave it cleaner than before Stand together,

hear the call

One strong crew can change it all From the first stream to

the open tide

We’ll keep Michigan’s waters alive

Boots in mud and morning rain

We are breaking through the stain

Bottle by bottle, line by line Give the water back its shine

Bring your voice, bring your drive Help the buried green survive When

the current starts to clear

We’ll know why we gathered here

If we move now,

if we move as one The work is hard,

but the work gets done Let the reeds breathe,

let the fish return Let Michigan’s waters shine and burn

Michigan, run clear and free WaterWays Stewards by the sea We lift

the weight, we heal the shore Leave it cleaner than before Stand

together, hear the call One strong crew can change it all From

the first stream to the open tide

We’ll keep Michigan’s waters alive
