Lewis & Clark

Lyrics

Felt like Lewis & Clark...crossing through a gateway Into a poem...there were no words to as of yet You rub your eyes in wonder...and your heart is torn asunder Like a woman...who you never will forget Felt like the Great Wallenda in the wind but never blinking That lonely sinking feeling when you're wonderin' if lady luck is gonna show The light? she throws in sharp relief...the real nature of your belief And all the things you could never really keep It's all caught in the freeze frame for awhile And you're hoping she will turn to you & smile What did you feel Chief Joseph? bending bravely but not broken The fear you never spoke of that your people were not safe From the rifles & the cannons & words as useless as rust Of men bearing flags and sermons with spirits you could never trust It's all caught in the freeze frame for awhile And you're hoping she will turn to you & smile
