This Peaceful Sod
Harmony in Solitude: A Cowboy's Anthem of Freedom and Faith
Lyrics
I'm just a poor cowboy singin' his song
I, the singer, am a financially struggling cowboy expressing myself through song.
No money to jingle as I ride along
I don't have money to make a sound as I travel on horseback.
I'm rejected by men but accepted above
People on Earth may reject me, but I feel accepted by a higher power.
I belong in this valley on this peaceful sod
I believe I belong in this peaceful valley, connected to the earth.
Let me ride from the mountains to the dark rolling sea
Allow me to travel from the mountains to the vast, rolling sea.
I'm broke but I'm wealthy because I am free
Though I lack wealth, I feel rich because of my freedom.
Let me walk in this valley where my fathers had trod
Let me walk in the valley where my ancestors once walked.
Let me live forever on this peaceful sod
I wish to live eternally in this peaceful and fertile soil.
Let me live on this land till I'm withered and old
Allow me to live on this land until I grow old and frail.
Till I'm meek and I'm humble and the Lord wants my soul
I aspire to be humble and meek until the Lord calls for my soul.
Let me live in this valley where my fathers had trod
Let my life unfold in the same valley where my ancestors lived.
Let me live forever on this peaceful sod
Grant me the chance to live perpetually on this serene and fertile land.
