So hopeful, so gentle, he takes me by the hand 
And leads me by water and onto promised land 
So simple aritual to leave it all behind 
What I search the words for, he speaks in space and time 

And oh, what I find it captures me! 
In the wide open spaces of a new country 

So simple, so honest, he draws me to his side 
A child lies in his arms, a storm eased by the calm 
So simple. this ritual, to leave the past behind 
What I search the words for, he speaks in space and time 

And oh, what I find it captures me! 
In the wide, open spaces of a new country 
I am found in a wilderness of rare beauty 
In the wide open spaces of a new country
