Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Dust kicks up as I hit that Wyoming road, Looking for a place to mend my soul. A Marine's heart, scarred and worn, Finds new beginnings in the break of dawn. [Verse 1] Left behind the medals and the old silhouette, Marriage broke like glass, I ain't seen it yet. PTSD whispers like a ghost in the field, Trying to find out what life can heal. [Pre-Chorus] Every sunset paints a story, every sunrise a new fight, Still carrying the weight, but I’m holding on tight. Trying to breathe in this mountain air, let the memories fade, Wyoming wind, carry my fears away. [Chorus] Baptized in the pain, buried in the past, Riding these valleys, trying to last. A marine lost, trying to find his way, In the land of the free, where I can stay. [Verse 2] Injuries may ache, and shadows linger near, But the rodeo of hope is drawing near. Broken but unbowed, I walk this endless trail, Searching for a peace that won't fail. [Pre-Chorus] Every mountain peak, a promise to start again, Open skies whisper where I've been. Heart pounding like a drum, but I won't despair, Wyoming skies, hear my prayer. [Chorus] Baptized in the pain, buried in the past, Riding these valleys, trying to last. A marine lost, trying to find his way, In the land of the free, where I can stay. [Bridge] Old scars may remind me of how far I’ve come, But every dawn's a promise, a brand new one. In this rugged land, I’ll reclaim my soul, Wyoming winds, make me whole. [Outro] Now I ride into the sunset’s glow, Leaving behind the pain I know. A Marine’s path, rugged and true, In Wyoming, I start anew.
