A Common Wealth - Early Day Miners

Forgotten faith

Dreaming of space

Covered retraced

Remember the way

Failing with doubt

They journeyed without

Courageous unsure

On borrowed time

Weathered the days

No end to the line

Turning their backs

Forests of black

Cumberland gap

Nights laid in wait

Morning unfolds

Fiery cold

Winding throughout

Retracing their steps

Forging the path

Horizons of stone

Remembered your name

Recalling your face

Unable to say

Unable to speak

To see you again
