The Great Divide
There's a great divide that makes the rivers and the rains
Flow to the western ocean or run through the eastern plains
So you go east and I go west
You go where the sun rises and I go where it sets
When I'm down in the valley
On my side of the line
It's hard to know that your hill
Is the same as mine
That mountaintop between us
Is the only place to see the other side
So let's meet up in the middle
Along the great divide
The road is rocky, the trail is steep
The cliffs get higher where the river runs deep
And it's not easy to look at what divides us
But if we do, we might find it's the same thing that unites us (Chorus)
Up above the treeline two paths become one
And as we ride together, two sides become none
Finding common ground is a tricky thing to do
But on the top of a mountain we can share a point of view (Chorus)
