Out among the fields gently hipped beneath the corn

Assiniboine bones beneath the highway

He stood there and thought of home

You're drawn to a distant copse of trees

A augmentedA voice as sweet as mares tail clings to the prairie breeze.

Raise your eyes to a moonless sky and try to wish upon a rising star

G+G
Search all you want for her blessing

Now cast your eyes to a part of the sky

Where nothing but darkness unfolds

She reveals the brilliance of secrets untold
