LYRICS
To The West
BY MAX TAYLOR
I remember
When I awoke
Under the stars
The ground felt cold
The air was warm
I was alone
But not afraid
And I could see
Through the dawn
Before the sun
Pierced the horizon
A line of smoke
There was arising
Up ahead
I turned my gaze
To the east
Toward the place
That I was leaving
And felt my heart by now how hard it was beating
In my chest
But here for a moment I was unsure
For I knew a life lived in hiding is something no one should endure
So I gathered my senses and headed north
Across the planes
To where my future lay undetermined
To the east the sun was riding
To start the day
And for 20 miles
I had to walk
With the sun beating its heat
Down upon me
At half way point I felt the journey was beyond me
But I soldiered on
But a man
Cannot change his world if he can't
Understand that he must learn to think beyond a straight line
And on one's journey you can't know what you'll find
To The West
You must forever keep your trust in the wilderness
And have no fear to ask your questions
More or less
With an honest mind
Then I began to drift
Into a dream
And so vivid were the things that I could see
That they were real to a man like me
I saw trees as tall as mountains
And ocean waves that touched the sky
And an open road pathed with gold that never ended
And when I woke up I was so sure
That I would find where I was bound I knew now was my treasure
For in my heart she was my saviour
Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
