Great Divide

We were southern souls
On a western road
As the valleys climbed
Into mountains tall
And we wondered why
We were there at all
It was the Great Divide
And the mountains tall
Singing, oh
We were singing, oh
And if we find our way
We may never be the same
And if lose anything
What have we to gain
If we don’t try to go
We may never know
What were were built to be
Only we can decide
Across the Great Divide
There were ups and downs
On those alpine peaks
There was higher ground
There were canyons steep
But we found made our way
With our voices proud
Off the rocky walls
We could hear their sound
Singing, oh
We were singing, oh
If we don’t try to go
We may never know
