Ride On, Across the Open Land

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Saddle leather creaks at dawn Red earth warms beneath the sun Past the barn, the cattle call Father checks the fence and all Corn leaves brush against my sleeve Green rows sway in the morning breeze By the creek, I cast my line Lunch is waiting by suppertime [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, across the open land With a faithful horse and a steady hand Corn in the field, river running clear Brazilian countryside, my home is here [Verse 2] Oxen pull the wagon slow Fresh-plowed furrows line the road Grandma packs the coffee strong Someone hums an old farm song Water flashes by the stones Kingfisher calls from the reeds alone When the evening settles wide We bring the harvest home with pride [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, across the open land With a faithful horse and a steady hand Corn in the field, river running clear Brazilian countryside, my home is here [Bridge] No hurry in the shade of the trees Just the scent of soil and the warm breeze Hands get tired, but hearts stay light We count our blessings by the fading light [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, across the open land With a faithful horse and a steady hand Corn in the field, river running clear Brazilian countryside, my home is here [Outro] My home is here My home is here
