Wyoming Heart

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
