up in a meadow in jasper
alberta
two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride
to see the high country and learn of her people
the ways that they lived there
the ways that they died
and one is a teacher and one a beginner just wanting to be there and wanting to know
and together they're trying to tell us a story that should have been listened to long
long ago
how the life in the mountains is living in danger from too many people
too many machines
and the time is upon us
today is forever
tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams
cold nights in canada and icy blue winds
the man and the mountains are brothers again
clear waters are laughing
they sing to the skies. the rockies are living
they never will die
