Bilingual
Two stood guard, just beyond the schoolyard
Dark silhouettes on an endless horizon line
And it's hard to give due process
When the wreckage is considered progress
In the constant march of time
Then one remained, an Atlas of the plains
Full of founders' strength to stay and break the tide
Until the day of mistaken smoke and flame above
And all her friends came, all her friends came to say goodbye
For miles around, it's all they talked about
A tiny prairie town and its tower falling down
Years from now, they will all remember how
The Atlas of the plains stood proud
ย
So as you near this place that's hardly here
The barley fields take the tears from old and iron eyes
It's a pile of ash, it's a place you pass on
Your way to elsewhere on the map
No giant's shadow, great and dignified
No titans here survived
ย
For miles around, it's all they talked about
A tiny prairie town and its agrarian crowd
Years from now, they will all remember how
The Atlas of the plains stood so tall and proud
You can see these adoring eulogies for
Scattered seeds from travelers with distant tendencies, for a
Sight we called our own, for a light we followed home
To our Atlas of the plains, alone
