I Am Going to the West

In this fair land I'll stay no more
 Here labor is in vain
 I'll seek the mountains far away
 And leave the fertile plain
 Where waves of grass and oceans roam
 Into infinity
 I stand ready on the shore
 To cross the inland sea.
 I am going to the west
 You say you will not go with 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 journey to the place
 That was shaped by heaven's hand
 And 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 with 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 riversedge
 Will whisper me to sleep
 I am going to the west
 You say you will not go with 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
