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
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
