Pa, how much further is it
to Aunt Lilith's ranch?

1:19:19
Well, son, it's around the next bend,
and the next bend...

1:19:22
...and the valley beyond.
1:19:27
Aunt Lilith, do you know that song?
1:19:29
That's our song!
1:19:31
Your song?
1:19:32
I sang that song
long before your pa was ever born.

1:19:36
"Away, away, come away with me
1:19:41
"Where the grass grows wild
1:19:43
"Where the winds blow free
1:19:46
"Away, away... " Zeb!
1:19:48
"Come away with me
1:19:50
"Where I'll build you a home
In the meadow

1:19:55
"Come, come, there"s a wondrous land
1:19:59
"For the hopeful heart
1:20:01
"For the willing hand
1:20:04
"Come, come, there"s a wondrous land
1:20:08
"And I"ll build you a home in the meadow. "
1:20:21
The West that was won by its pioneers,
settlers, adventurers is long gone now.

1:20:28
Yet, it is theirs forever.
1:20:30
For they left tracks in history
that will never be eroded by wind or rain...

1:20:35
... never plowed under by tractors,
never buried in the compost of events.

1:20:41
Out of the hard simplicity of their lives,
out of their vitality...

1:20:45
... their hopes and their sorrows...
1:20:47
... grew legends of courage and pride...
1:20:49
... to inspire their children
and their children"s children.

1:20:54
From soil enriched by their blood...
1:20:56
... out of their fever to explore and build...
1:20:59
... came lakes where once
were burning deserts...
