Lyrics:
The distant hills are glowing in the sunset’s magic light
Against the sun the grasses shine in iridescent white
The wind is lying down to rest, the air is growing cool
Each wildflower bloom is lit up like a prairie jewel
There is peace on the prairie - We can feel it deep inside
Peace on the prairie - We can see it in the sky
The waters flow, the grasses grow - Everything feels right
There is peace on the prairie - tonight
The pond below reflects the changing colors of the sky
Silver pink and orange turn to turquoise in the light
The distant coyote sings his song to welcome in the night
A Great Blue Heron slowly glides across the evening sky
CHORUS
The cattle on the hillside are belly deep in grass
Heads down low and grazing as they’re slowly inching past
Tall grass covers all the world as far as we can see
From the hilltops to the meadow with its gentle winding stream
CHORUS
