lyrics

I am a lonely pioneer
Awaiting you on new frontier
To catch a wagon train
Across this blessed terrain
And bring our son and daughter here

The guilding sun explores at noon
Most nights I'm haunted by the moon
So clear it can't be true
Its face is black and blue
So low I hope it touches you

A fortnight more to go
Would I could make it so
I've never been so low...

My wife, my children and this land
These and our God make me a man
But we needed something new
Height to aspire to
I've never been so low...

I'm waiting for the day
I'm not inclined to say
I've never been so low
So lonely out here though
So I'm waiting up for you
The stars invite me to
We'll be a family in this new land

I am a lonely pioneer
