Pioneers

Pioneers By: Julie Livingston Copyright 2014 Wise Ruby/ASCAP We got miles and miles before us Nothing but one vast frontier So we lock arms and sing a And we shed Shed one last tear There's nothing left here for us Grab one last souvenir Before we leave We will journey over mountains Valleys we will cross We will drink our youth from fountains We know God will save the lost For we know that when God found us Only He knew what it cost So we believe that That we will stake our ground We will claim what we found We'll hold fast till the sound Of sweet victory rings And we refuse to back down We know we're heaven bound We're pioneers, pioneers, And we're not afraid to sing They told us that we were crazy They said it could not be done Through our cries they heard us pray We stared down barrels of their guns We fought nights and we fought days We knew the battle could be won If we stood strong They told us we couldn't do it They outnumbered us too much We held fast and we pushed through it Our spirits they could not touch When we broke through we saw the knew it Wasn't our strength, it was just our battle song And we sang We will stake our ground We will claim what we found We'll hold fast till the sound Of sweet victory rings And we refuse to back down We know we're heaven bound We're pioneers, pioneers, And we're not afraid to sing Keep your heart set on the prize Stay strong Never look back Run with fire in your eyes Never give up never give in To the lies enemy Breathes into your mind Know the truth will set you free Take the high road Always leave excess behind Make the most of every second Know that time is never on your side Bridge/together Keep your heart set on the prize Stay strong Never look back Run with fire in your eyes Never give up never give in To the lies enemy Breathes into your mind Know the truth will set you free Take the high road Always leave excess behind Close
