Song Lyrics

"The Wild Frontier"

by Randy Stonehill
Album: Our Recollections

Out on the wild frontier, hey.

Like a child who dreams of flying, and aches for something more, we hold a dim remembrance of an ancient golden shore,
Ah, but now our faith is frozen; we lost it by default,
I tell you, if we linger, we will all be turned to salt.

Come where the big wind blows, out on the wild frontier
And follow where it goes, out on the wild frontier,
It's as close as your heartbeat, it's as far as your fear,
It's beyond the great horizon, out on the wild frontier.

Clinging to this hourglass, bound up by regret,
We mistake the spider's web for a safety net,
This vacuum we've erected, it robs our very breath,
To embrace this grand illusion is to know the living death.

Come where the big wind blows, out on the wild frontier,
And follow where it goes, out on the wild frontier,
Well this message is simple for him who has ears,
The promised land is calling, out on the wild frontier.

Yeah.

Smash all your mirrors, break down your doors and be made clean by the mighty storm.

Come where the big wind blows, out on the wild frontier
Follow where it goes, out on the wild frontier,
It's as close as your heartbeat, it's as far as your fear,
It's beyond the great horizon, just beyond the great horizon,
It's beyond the great horizon, out on the wild frontier.

Out on the wild frontier,
Out on the wild frontier,
Out on the wild frontier,

(etc. fade)
