Kansas Cheyenne Anthem [live] Lyrics

Cheyenne Anthem [live] Lyrics

(Kerry Livgren)



From the mountains to the sun, life has only just begun

We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end,

Life has only just begun

Here my people roam the earth, in the kingdom of our birth

Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun

We are mighty on the earth, on the earth



You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home,

Land of my fathers I can't leave you now

We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on

Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war

It's my destiny to fight and die

Is there no solution, can we find no other way, Lord let me stay

Under the endless sky and the earth below

Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no



But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains

Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising



Soon these days shall pass away, for our freedom we must pay

All our words and deeds are carried on the wind,

In the ground our bodies lay, here we lay
