Get a dark twisted feeling when I think about

The people that I've loved and I've lost

I used to think that the country held me down

I thought it kept me from being myself

I lose myself in thought

Thinking about how this ground has saved my life

​

The silence has shaken me, the prairie wind on my face

Will you pray for me

​

In moonlight my wind wanders to the native tribes

That used to walk the land that I love

I know that they lived off the land

I know they treated this ground better than I have

I lose myself in thought

Thinking about why all of that had to be

​

The wind blowing through my hair, I find it hard to believe

Will you pray for me

​

The North & the South fought a battle

For a rail line fifteen miles from here

They shaped the future of a nation

And then I played the same war in this field

I lose myself in thought

Thinking about this land that I'm from

​

A train off in the distance, I hear it calling my name

Will you pray for me

​
