Pioneer

Miles and miles on a treadmill mind
Running but not going anywhere

I closed the blinds on the frontier life
I dressed it up as freedom but it's fear
Lost sight of who I am and why I'm here

So free me from this fortress
This prison that I've made
With my civilized salvation
And my picket fence of faith

My eyes on the horizon
I cannot settle here
How could I die in safety?
I was born a pioneer

And letting go, I leave it all behind
I'm parting ways with years of wasted time
I'm moving out of this old man's house
Somewhere in me there's the wonder of a child
And I wonder if I'll find him in the wild

So free me from this fortress
This prison that I've made
With my civilized salvation
And my picket fence of faith

My eyes on the horizon
I cannot settle here
How could I die in safety?
I was born a pioneer

Free me from this fortress
This prison that I've made
With my civilized salvation
And my white picket fence of faith

My eyes on the horizon
I cannot settle here
How could I die in safety?
I was born a pioneer

I will not die in safety
I was born a pioneer
