This song is about two things: growing up in Northern Alberta on the edge of the great prairie that extends across Canada; and about getting through the hard times that life throws in your way 'breathe deep, find some peace'

lyrics

Out on the edge of the prairie
Blows a wind that's a part of me
You can hear it in the banjo
Hear it in the trees

Blow hard, reach for glory
Breathe deep, find some peace
Cold winds don't last forever
Even though that's what it seems.

Green turns to yellow turns to snow white
Hiding in a hood of fur
Just when you're thinking you're alright
You start again thinking of her

Breathe deep, reach for glory
Blow hard then find some peace
Cold winds don't last forever
Even though that's what it seems.

A Chinook arch over the Rockies
Still too early for Spring
A merciful glimpse of recovery
From what the Northerlies bring

Blow hard, reach for glory
Breathe deep, find some peace
Cold winds don't last forever
Even though that's what it seems.

Out on the edge of the prairie
Blows a wind that's a part of me
You can hear it in the charango
Hear it in the trees

Blow hard, reach for glory
Breathe deep, find some peace
Cold winds don't last forever
Even though that's what it seems.
