Yonder

Lookin' out over yonder mountain Lookin' out over waves of grain Lookin' out across the prairie Lookin' out at an endless chain Lookin' out at the wide open spaces Lookin' out at the valleys below Lookin' out with a hungry perspective Lookin' out with the will to know The waters led to the promised land Seeds of greed washed upon it's shore White footprints in the settling sand Brought the ways of the ignorant man See a train trace the horizon See this ridge trace these lanes See this wheel turn in direction See the wind in the rattlin' cane See a face in the spirit of old See the longhorn at home on the range See the emptiness in searching for gold See the beauty in the treasures we hold
