Settler's Dream (Cases'Creed) |
Lyrics[Intro]I built my life On the hopes of those Who came before me yesterday Oh yesterday [Verse 1] They came from everywhere And spread out across this land They were brave and not afraid To start again They built little houses With little more than their own hands They built a nation They built this land [Chorus] And I built my life On the hopes of those Who came before me yesterday On the hopes of those Who made their way here yesterday Oh yesterday [Verse 2] There was a lot to know Everything about life was tough Still they found a way to help Each other out And in their minds there lived hope And that hope became a dream That their children and children's children Would succeed [Chorus] And I built my dreams On the hopes of those Who came before me yesterday On the hopes of those Who made their way here yesterday Oh yesterday [Bridge] And I was born After all the work was done The trees were cut, the land was plowed And the grains grew tall Yeah I was born After all the work was done Guess you could say I was the lucky one [Chorus] 'Cause I built my life (built my life) On the hopes of those Who came before me yesterday On the hopes of those Who made their way here yesterday Oh yesterday |
| Short Song Description: We initially wrote this song in 2016 as a tribute to those who braved the quest for a new life in the Prairie provinces of Canada and settled our home province of Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. |
