THE WEST WILL LIVE AGAIN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
Montana
in the high unrolling hills
the mustangs
run along the canyon rills
wild horses
running faster than the wind
freedom is a gift that's always been
that the promise of the West will live again
vaqueros
watching from the valley floor
the cowboys
seeing only what is sure
the high sky
floating over mountainsides
wild horses generations never ride
eternal long as the West is wide
Nevada
is the home to many herds
Wyoming
the beginning of the word
Alberta
cross the border to the north
wild horses even now are setting forth
from the future all the way back to the source
Montana
in the high unrolling hills
the mustangs
run along the canyon rills
wild horses
running faster than the wind
freedom is a gift that's always been
that the promise of the West will live again

Reviews of "THE WEST WILL LIVE AGAIN song lyrics by Joel Sattler"
There were three horse species that evolved in North America, but they died out around 10,000 years ago. The wild horses (mustangs) we see today were brought to the New World by Columbus on his second voyage and by the conquistadors who followed and explored much of California and the Southwest. Those horses that escaped in the 1500s, were tamed by the plains natives. Horses made these tribes very rich in buffalo terms, until they were defeated by the white father and his lies by 1900. Wild horses remained free and their ownership was taken away.
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
