The wild frontier

1. Like a child who dreams of flying
And aches for something more
We hold the dim remembrance
Of an ancient golden shore
Ah, but now our faith is frozen
We lost it by default
I tell you if we linger
We will all be turned to salt

R: Come where the Big Wind blows
Out on the wild frontier
Follow where it goes
Out on the wild frontier
It's as close as your heartbeat
It's as far as your fear
It's beyond the great horizon
Out on the wild frontier

2. Clinging to this hourglass
Bound up by regret
We mistake the spider's web
For a safety net
This vacuum we've erected
It robs our very breath
To embrace this grand illusion
Is to know the living death

3. Come where the Big Wind blows
Out on the wild frontier
Follow where it goes
Out on the wild frontier
Well this message is simple
For he who has ears
The promised land is calling
Out on the wild frontier

C: Smash all your mirrors
Break down your doors
And be made clean
By the Mighty Storm
