Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta   Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride   To see the high country and learn of her people   The ways that they live there, the ways that they die      And one is a teacher, one a beginner   Just wanting to be there, wanting to know   And together they're trying to tell us a story   That should have been listened to long, long ago      How the life in the mountains is living in danger   From too many people, too many machines   And the time is upon us, today is forever   Tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams      Cold nights in Canada and icy blue winds   The man and the mountains are brothers again   Clear waters are laughing, they sing to the skies   The Rockies are living, they never will die      Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta   Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride
