Big mountain, wide river
There's an ancient pull
These tree trunks, these stream beds

Leave our bellies full

They sing out:

I am going to stand my ground
You rise to me and I'll blow you down
I am going to stand my ground

You rise to me and I'll blow you down

Hey Henry can you hear me?

Let me see those eyes
This distance between us
Can seem a mountain size


But boy:
You are going to stand your ground

They rise to you, you blow them down
Let me see you stand your ground
If they rise to you, you blow them down


My darling, my sweetheart
I am in your sway

To cold climes comes springtime
So let me hear you say


My love:
I am going to stand my ground
They rise to me and I'll blow them down

I am going to stand my ground
They rise to me and I'll blow them down
