Farther on in the West (Cinematic)

[Verse 1] We woke to the drizzle in a Wyoming dawn, And set our feet where the wagons once rolled on. Cut in the stone, those ruts remain, Silent witnesses to loss and gain. [Chorus] It filled the mind, it weighed on the soul, What they endured through the sun and the snow. They gave their sweat, they spent their blood, Through grass and rock, through fire and flood. The strong pressed on where the weak would fall, And a nation rose from the faith of them all. [Verse 2] I heard in the wind what the past still tells, The creak of the wagons, the clang of the bells. Echoes of courage still calling us near, Through hallowed ground their voices appear. [Chorus] It filled the mind, it weighed on the soul, What they endured through the sun and the snow. They gave their sweat, they spent their blood, Through grass and rock, through fire and flood. The strong pressed on where the weak would fall, And a nation rose from the faith of them all. [Bridge] If we don’t give up, don’t let the trail win, Farther on in the West, a new hope begins. Perseverance still lights the way, Through every trial, through every day. [Final Chorus] It fills the mind, it weighs on the soul, What they endured through the sun and the snow. They gave their sweat, they spent their blood, Through grass and rock, through fire and flood. So we carry their dream, and we still belong, To the spirit that made this nation strong. [Outro / Tag] Farther on in the West, a victory begins… Farther on in the West, their dream still lives.
