We were southern souls On a western road As the valleys climbed Into mountains tall And we wondered why We were there at all It was the Great Divide And the mountains tall Singing, oh We were singing, oh [Chorus:] And if we find our way We may never be the same And if lose anything What have we to gain If we don't try to go We may never know What were were built to be
Only we can decide Across the Great Divide There were ups and downs On those alpine peaks There was higher ground There were canyons steep But we found made our way With our voices proud Off the rocky walls We could hear their sound Singing, oh We were singing, oh [Chorus] [x3] If we don't try to go We may never know [Chorus]
