Spoken: Here is a song for the prairies, for the old buffalo Yellow flowers in the sunny blue Meadow lark is singing a song Peace in the air, love every where To us such a place belongs Look all around the world Easy goes the days I'm talking about a future of happiness Where man and animals play There is a lonesome old buffalo Roaming on the plains all alone He does not have anybody He doesn't even have a home He stands quiet in the morning star His shaggy head is hanging low Oh but his dreams fly high as the sky alright And he'll join them by and by, he knows Where do you think we are going Where do you think this will lead What are the things worth knowing That will satisfy our every need Well I stood upon a mountain top Saw the river running to the sea There was a long line of humanity Trying to get a boat to set them free I saw a man with his family His love for them was clean and true He was searching in the trees for the river to take them
To the god he knew And I read a book that told me Some things that seemed to touch my soul That old Abraham he was a humble man Living in the days of old He just pulled out the stakes one day And left this old world behind He did not know where he was going to He did not know what he would find Where do you think we are going Where do you think this will lead What are things worth knowing That will satisfy our every need There is a lonesome old buffalo Roaming on the plains all alone He does not have anybody He doesn't even have a home Yellow flowers in the sunny blue Meadow lark is singing a song Peace in the air love everywhere To us such a place belongs Where do you think we are going Where do you think this will lead What are the things worth knowing That will satisfy our every need Where do you think we are going to Where do you think this will lead What are the things worth knowing all about That will satisfy our every need
