In this fair land i'll stay no more here labor is in vain I'll seek the mountains far away andleave the fertile plain
Where waves of grass and oceans roam into infinity I stand ready by the shore to cross the inland sea.
I am going to the west you say you will not go me you turn your eyes away you say you will not follow me no matter what I say I am going to the west I am going to the west
I will jorney to the place that was shaped by heaven's hand I will build for me a bow where angel's footprints mark the land where castle rocks and towers high kneel to valleys wide and green all my thoughts are turned to you my waking hope, my sleeping dream
I am going to the west you say you will not go me you turn your eyes away you say you will not follow me no matter what I say I am going to the west I am going to the west
And when sun gives way to moon and silver starlight fills the sky in the arms of these last hills is where I'm bound to lie
wind my blanket earth my bed my canopy a tree ' willows by the riverside will whisper me to sleep
I am going to the west you say you will not go me you turn your eyes away you say you will not follow me no matter what I say I am going to the west I am going to the west I am going to the west
