Mormon Pioneers
Came across the plains,
Brought what they could carry
And came in wagon trains.
They suffered trials,
So many hardships too.
And some would die
Before the journey’s through.
Chorus:
Pioneers, pioneers
We’re grateful for
Courageous pioneers.
They blazed the trail for others
‘cross a desolate frontier.
We’re grateful for
The Utah Pioneers.
Through rugged mountains
And desert sand
They pushed forward
To their promised land.
The wagons stopped
Near the Great Salt Lake,
And Brigham Young said
That this was the place!
Chorus:
The Mormons built a place
Where they could stay
Safe from the mobs
Who had chased them away
And soon came other religions too.
Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, and Jews.
Chorus:
Utah pioneers…
Courageous and strong
Left to us a legacy
To build upon
And with hard work
They strived to do their best
Making Salt Lake City
The crossroads of the west.
