Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta

Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride

To see the high country and learn of her people

The ways that they live there, the ways that they die

One is a teacher, and one a beginner

Just wanting to be there, wanting to know



And together they’re trying to tell us a story

That should have been listened to long, long ago

How the life in the mountains is living in danger

From too many people, too many machines

And the time is upon us, today is forever

Tomorrow is just one of yesterday’s dreams



Cold nights in Canada and icy blue winds

The man and the mountains are brothers again

Clear waters are laughing, they sing to the skies

The Rockies are living, they never will die

Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta

Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride.
