Oh the wonder of the wild and windy Grasslands
Feel the dirt on my hands
Is there any other way?
A magic wonder, from the East Hills to the Badlands
All in perfect balance
The way natures meant to be
I don't ever wanna leave this place
I don't ever wanna see it fade
Wanna watch it grow for generations
All it needs is hard work and patience
My grand daddy said he found the secret
The land misses how it used to be, yah
People tend to overcomplicate it
But it works just the way God made it
Ya take care of the land, it'll take care of you
If you tend to its roots it'll tend to yours too
Just roll with nature's pace
You won't have to fix what you don't break
We all reap what we sow
And the fabric of the grasslands
Is where good things grow
Back in the day when the buffalo grazed
They'd fill their bellies then they'd leave the place
I been thinkin' wouldn't it be great
If we did it just the way that they did
Give the land just a bit of good time
A little rest will get it nice and primed
People tend to overcomplicate it
It'll work just the way God made it
Just roll with nature's pace
You won't have to fix what you don't break
We all reap what we sow
And the fabric of the grasslands
Is where my grand daddy came down, with the clothes on his back
Two silver dollars and an old flour sack
Built him a sod house like his mama taught him to
Yah he wrangled up a small herd, made his living off the land
Where the winds and the wild stretched for miles and miles
And where he stood is where I stand
(he said)
"tend to its roots, it'll tend to yours too"
Just roll with nature's pace
You won't have to fix what you don't break
We all reap what we sow
And the fabric of the grasslands
And the magic of the grasslands
Is where good things grow
Where good things grow
