Horizon Lyrics

Dusty roads stretch out, fields lie barren and bare

Dreams fade as despair hangs heavy in the air

Idle hands wait, as factories shut down

Prosperity's ghost whispers through this town

Sun beats on empty porch chairs, once filled with cheer

Now silent witnesses to what used to be

The tavern echoes with old woes and pain

Drowning sorrows where bitter winds reign

But we're singing through the struggle, voices loud and clear

Raising our glasses to dreams we hold so dear

We'll stand strong at morning's gentle glow

Hope's on the horizon where heartland rivers flow

Mama prays for clouds to break, her spirit's filled with fear

While Daddy's lost in doubt, his heart is torn and near

The bottle tempts with a siren's sweet call

Promising escape, but leading to a fall

Yet we're singing through the struggle, voices loud and strong

Raising our glasses to where we belong

We'll find strength to rise as new day shows

Hope's on the horizon where heartland river flows

In darkest nights, brightest stars appear

Reminding us our dreams are always near

From ashes of hard-luck tales we'll rise

With lion's courage, we'll touch the skies

So we're singing through the struggle, voices clear and bold

Raising our glasses to dreams we uphold

We'll stand tall when morning starts to glow

Hope's on the horizon where heartland waters flow

Dawn breaks anew, we face the day with pride

Leaving behind the night where fears reside

Heartland's song, our anthem of rebirth

We'll keep moving forward, for all we're worth
