Frost & Fire: "Aaron fell in love with Wyoming and its people while doing botanical field work there after college."
As I look out across the desert
Shoshoni, Arapahoe, [Clovis], Cheyenne
Homesteaders, ranchers, uranium miners
We all watch the movement of clay and of sand
Chorus:
Wyoming, I belong in your valleys
Your wandering rivers, and your flowering meadows
Wyoming your rocks, your eagles and skies
I may wander all over, but my heart stays right here
Sifting through the depths of time
Reptiles roamed here, by land and by sea
[Merry] chickens they strut and they dance now
Nothing stays here indefinitely
Antelope skip across the red desert
Boom and bust it’s been all along
Wyoming has a way of changing
Someday soon this will all be gone
Like gods we purge the top of the mountain
Crevices cradle the life within
Live like the window, Wyoming will lose you
A changing face of a timeless land
