"The Winds of Time"
[Intro: Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Granite peaks against a sapphire sky
Shadowed cliffs where eagles fly
Shoshone myths mark ancient stones
And valleys filled with sacred bones
Glaciers carved these jagged walls
Where mountain snows feed waterfalls
[Chorus: layered vocals]
Wind River Range so wild and free
A treasured land for all to see
Sacred rivers and ancient ways
Layered mountains in purple haze
The winds of time still whisper here
Throughout the seasons of the year
[Verse 2]
Summer brings the alpine flowers
While purple lupines frame rocky towers
Indian paintbrush with reds so bright
Under Gannett Peak's snowy height
Medicine wheels mark sacred ground
And tawny peaks are all around
[Bridge: layered vocals]
Through Titcomb Basin's crystal stream
Below the Cirque where Ancients dream
Time stands still in this wilderness
Cherish what nature has given us
Where solitude still holds its ground
And blissful peace can still be found
[Verse 3]
Winter wraps the mountains in white
And the Milky Way lights up the night
Beneath the stars the stories flow
Of native warriors from long ago
Ancient spirits whisper in the wind
Where the past and present transcend
[Verse 4]
Pale-skinned feet now mark these trails
Through Badlands that know far older tales
Long before the trappers' camps grew cold
The Shoshone walked these paths, I'm told
Long after we're gone these peaks will remain
The silent keepers of time's endless chain
[Chorus: layered vocals]
Wind River Range so wild and free
A treasured land for all to see
Sacred rivers and ancient ways
Layered mountains in purple haze
The winds of time still whisper here
Throughout the seasons of the year
[Chorus: layered vocals]
Wind River Range so wild and free
A treasured land for all to see
Sacred rivers, and ancient ways
Layered mountains in purple haze
The winds of time still whisper here
Throughout the seasons of the year
[Outro: Instrumental]
