First arrived the settlers
The scramble to survive
Life passes, ground broken
And the next is fit to farm
Expanding, improving
Building that which will sustain
Life passes, farm passes
And the next is fit to learn
Exploring, new options
To make it in the world
Life passes, new vistas
And the next is fit for wealth
Intellect improving
With world faster moving
Life passes, all options
And now we’ve come to me
Indebted, surrounded
Cloud of witnesses
Inheritance abundant everywhere
And seeing, believing
The one who prayed it first
On Earth as it is in heaven
Now reaching and pulling
A quality of life
Ne’er dreamed by generations past
And I live fulfillment
Of labors gone before
In honor of the ones who gave me chance
