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      I am going to the west
