verse 1
Tumbleweeds are flying by
Prairie dust gets in my eye
Smell of sweet new jersey tea
In the flatland streams, i collect my water
I put my kettle on the fire
And i closed my eyes and it just felt like a dream

chorus
And i will hear you roar, through my heart into my soul
And i will hear your call, spirit fly above it all
And i will hear you roar, through my heart into my soul

verse 2
Well, i've tasted snow at the edge of winter
I worked hard collecting timber
So i could build myself a home
And i don't need more than the air that i breathe
Everything she provides is free
Now i know just where to go

chorus
And i will hear you roar, through my heart into my soul
And i will hear your call, spirit fly above it all
And i will hear you roar, through my heart into my soul

verse 3
An old coyote's passing by
She looks at me as if to say hello
And the thunder roars in the distance
It's hard for her in those conditions
And she knows she has to go

chorus
And i will hear you roar, through my heart into my soul
And i will hear your call, spirit fly above it all
And i will hear you roar, through my heart into my soul
And i will hear your call, spirit fly above it all
And i will hear you roar, through my heart into my soul
