Dreams of the West

He stood with one foot on either side
Of the imaginary line called the Continental Divide
There was a mountain and there was a stream
And someone leaving everything he wanted behind

In the face of deception, we live our lives
Holding onto our dreams of the West

He slowly walked the high plateau
Where the wind ripped blindly and the sagebrush blew
There was winter that he barely survived
And someone leaving everything he'd worked for behind

In the face of deception, we live our lives
Holding onto our dreams of the West

The water was cold, the waves were high
Fog hung heavy and I could not hide
Left hanging out there alone without pride
Someone leaving everyone he loved behind

In the face of deception, we live our lives
Holding onto our dreams of the West
