T MORE WAS THERE AHEAD OF US
NO MATTER WHERE WE WENT,
WE FOUND HIS NAME ON MANY ROCKS
WHEN WE ARRIVED ALL SPENT

WE FOUND HIS NAME IN CANYONS
AND ON A CABIN FLOOR,
WE FOUND HIS NAME ON LITTLE FLAGS
AS DOWN THE TRAIL WE TORE

WE FOUND HIS NAME ON LOFTY PEAKS
AS TO THE SKY WE TOILED,
WE FOUND HIS NAME ON WATER HOLES
WHEN WE ARRIVED PARBOILED

WE FOUND HIS NAME ON HANGING WALLS
IN LONG LOST MINES OF YORE,
AND WHEN WE LOOKED UP AT THE CLOUDS
BY GOD! THEY SPELLED T MORE
