Pioneer

Miles and miles on a treadmill mind I'm running but not going anywhere I closed the blinds on the frontier life I dressed it up as freedom, but it's fear Lost sight of who I am, why I'm here So free me from this fortress, this prison that I've made With my civilized salvation and my picket fence of faith My eyes on the horizon, I cannot settle here How could I die in safety? I was born a pioneer And letting go, I leave it all behind I'm parting ways with years of wasted time I'm moving out of this old man's house Somewhere in me there's the wonder of a child And I wonder if I'll find him in the wild So free me from this fortress, this prison that I've made With my civilized salvation and my picket fence of faith My eyes on the horizon, I cannot settle here How could I die in safety? I was born a pioneer Free me from this fortress, this prison that I've made With my civilized salvation and my white picket fence of faith My eyes on the horizon, I cannot settle here How could I die in safety? I was born a pioneer I will not die in safety, I was born a pioneer
