"Wind River Rising"
[Verse 1]
Wind River peaks touch Wyoming skies
Thirteen thousand feet where goldens fly
Shoshone stories in ancient stone
Where Sacagawea's people roamed
Glaciers carved these jagged walls
While winter's silence softly falls
[Chorus]
Wind River rising, wild and strong
Where mountain spirits sing their song
Sacred waters, ancient ways
Where the mountain meadows blaze
Winds of time still whisper here
Through the seasons of the year
[Verse 2]
Summer paints the alpine flowers
Purple lupine marks the hours
Indian paintbrush flames so bright
Under Gannett's snowy height
Medicine wheels mark sacred ground
Where ancestors' dreams are found
[Bridge]
Through Titcomb Basin's crystal streams
Below the Cirque of ancient dreams
Time stands still in wilderness
Where mountain spirits still possess
These untamed lands of solitude
Where legends live in altitude
[Verse 3]
Winter wraps the range in white
Northern lights dance in the night
Beneath the stars the stories flow
Of warriors walking long ago
Their wisdom echoes in the wind
Through endless time without end
[Verse 4]
Fremont's footsteps mark these trails
Where mountain-men left their tales
But long before the settlers came
The Shoshone knew these peaks by name
These mountains stand in majesty
Guardians of our history
[Final Chorus]
Wind River rising, wild and strong
Where mountain spirits sing their song
Sacred waters, ancient ways
Where the mountain meadows blaze
Winds of time still whisper here
Through the seasons of the year
