lyrics

Clear and bright,
the sun in her eyes makes her squint. I
try to understand all that she went through.
Her splendor and pain on display.

Rugged. Moving out west
makes you rugged.
To carve out a life leaves you rutted,
homes dug out of rock and of clay.

Weather-beaten beauty, tested and timeless,
dares all the world to dream and endure.
Rising fair and graceful,
plain and yet impressive,
Steals my breath away.
As her jewel
hangs above her scar.

Fires and floods, she's passed through
rebuilt from the ashes and mud.
Stubborn and proud with no royal blood,
the impetuous queen takes the stage

and I love her…
don't know how to help or restrain her.
We fight and make up, crazy, unsure.
Wild, unbroken…. draws me in.

Desert heat and mountain cold
in the same soul,
Her lovers disappoint her time and time again.
Quaking aspen heart, wildflower strength,
she comes around again.
And her jewel
hangs above her scar.

Oh, oh my broken heart
aches with hope
in the sunrise of my lovely adversary.

Weather-beaten beauty, tested and timeless,
dares all the world to dream and endure.
Rising fair and graceful,
plain and yet impressive,
Steals my breath away.
As her jewel
hangs above her scar.
