Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberto Two men and four ponies on
a long, lonesome ride To see the high country and learn of her people The
ways that they live there, the ways that they die One is a teacher, and one
a beginner Just wanting to be there, wanting to know
And together
theyre trying to tell us a story That should have been listened to long,
long ago How the life in the mountains is living in danger From too many
people, too many machines And the time is upon us, today is
forever Tomorrow is just one of yesterdays dreams
Cold nights in
Canada and icy blue winds The man and the mountains are brothers
again Clear waters are laughing, they sing to the skies The Rockys are
living, they never will die Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberto Two men and
four ponies on a long, lonesome ride
