Lyrics
Great Divide
I can see the valley, I can see the road we used to climb
I can see the mountains, leering on the other side
And on and on and on and on it goes
I can hear the echo, I can hear the song we used to sing
I can feel the distance, livin' in the between
And on and on and on and on it goes
All these moments, get lost inside my head
Carry on to find the strength in your eyes
Every fray we've fought all the things we've lost
Makes us strong in time as we cross the great divide
Can you hear the rhythm, Can you feel our hearts begin to beat
Rising from the ashes
Like a train that's gathering steam, And on and on and on and on it goes
In the cannon fire we creshendo
Chorus
And every time we were close to giving up
When the weight of the works was bearing down on us
You kept you hand in mine
Chorus
