An adventurous lust in his eyes
A longing for a place to call her home
Children aged by journey
Still awaiting a dangerous exploration
Into new land
Dust fills their lungs
A sea of walking feet
Cattle disappear along with people
Children escape
To find jolting of wagon
and endless creaking of wheels
A city of fires
The smell of bacon
Boiling coffee
Blankets and stars
Little sleep
and the day begins
Dust fills their lungs
A sea of walking feet
Cattle disappear along with people
Children escape
To find jolting of wagon
and endless creaking of wheels
New sites as far as the eye can see
Wonder upon wonder do they see
Illness upon illness
Death upon death
Until they reach the end
A rush to find property
A place to call home
An adventurous lust in his eyes
A longing for a place to call her home
Children aged by journey
Still awaiting a dangerous exploration
Into new land
Can't wait for you guys to head south-west!
