Into The West
Through union and love,
Through death and hate
The Wheeler's story was told,
Their destiny, their fate.
It started with a vision
Followed by death.
It filled all with strife,
It left all bereft.
Jacob and Nathan
Were the first to leave.
They went separate ways,
Separate stories to weave.
Through union and love,
Through death and hate
The Wheeler's story was told,
Their destiny, their fate.
Nathan went to Texas,
Jacob, further west.
Both thought they were right,
That their way as best.
With Mr. Smith
Jacob watched a man die.
Another he killed,
His life passing by.
Through union and love,
Through death and hate
The Wheeler's story was told,
Their destiny, their fate.
At a market he met
The love of his life.
He took her away
And made her his wife.
Together they began
A family of four.
A son and a daughter,
To worried to bare more
Through union and love,
Through death and hate
The Wheeler's story was told,
Their destiny, their fate.
Jacob's family went home,
Chased by a war,
To a house long forgotten
To knock on the door.
Eventually he left
With cousins and brother
On a road to California
With none but each other.
Through union and love,
Through death and hate
The Wheeler's story was told,
Their destiny, their fate.
After many a death
By disease and violence
Jacob went missing
Leaving sad silence.
Years later, he came back
His children were grown
They'd made lives for themselves
With experiences, unknown.
Through union and love,
Through death and hate
The Wheeler's story was told,
Their destiny, their fate.
