lyrics

winter came upon us as we made our way
moving west into the mountains from the plane
it was chill upon those hills on the day we came
to the pass at prendergast and we all prayed.
oh help us find our way
though bitter winds we face
we'll push on to a place
where children laugh and play

may fair
winds blow
where we go
may sun
and rain come again
and may we grow

as we crossed that cursed pass we cursed the day
that we left that little town of pride and hate
with sick children in the wagons and some horses dead
we paused on the side of the mountain to break bread
we ask for strength to climb
another mountain side
we'll push on to a time
a green valley we will find

may fair
winds blow
where we go
may sun
and rain come again
and may we grow
