LYRICS
To The West

I remember

When I awoke

Under the stars

The ground felt cold

The air was warm 

I was alone

But not afraid

 

And I could see 

Through the dawn

Before the sun

Pierced the horizon

A line of smoke

There was arising

Up ahead

 

I turned my gaze 

To the east

Toward the place

That I was leaving

And felt my heart by now how hard it was beating

In my chest

 

But here for a moment I was unsure

For I knew a life lived in hiding is something no one should endure

So I gathered my senses and headed north

 

Across the planes

To where my future lay undetermined

To the east the sun was riding

To start the day

 

And for 20 miles

I had to walk

With the sun beating its heat 

Down upon me

At half way point I felt the journey was beyond me

But I soldiered on

 

But a man

Cannot change his world if he can't

Understand that he must learn to think beyond a straight line

And on one's journey you can't know what you'll find

​

To The West

You must forever keep your trust in the wilderness

And have no fear to ask your questions

More or less

With an honest mind

​

Then I began to drift 

Into a dream

And so vivid were the things that I could see

That they were real to a man like me

 

I saw trees as tall as mountains

And ocean waves that touched the sky

And an open road pathed with gold that never ended

 

And when I woke up I was so sure

That I would find where I was bound I knew now was my treasure

For in my heart she was my saviour

 

Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
