	Story Behind the Song The song was written as all Zen Carnival songs are written, collectively. All members contributed to different parts and the song went through various versions, which is typical of this writing process. The lyric was developed from the verse groove of "while you lie sleeping," which has the feel of a car criusing fast over a highway. The writers attempt to create a sonic landscape evoking the West, that big panorama thing that can only be appreciated by being there. Lyrics While you lie sleeping forty miles from Montana's border I breathe the dusty air Think how far we've come western lands restore a sense of order this strange hunger drives Deep within our spirit Big Sky calls Mankind walked the earth, and no sooner tamed the sea, and looked up to the heavens long ago Hope and fears combined, now we search the plains and desert for our place under the Sun Now the sunset beckons flowing through the mountain pass night formed in the sky, as the night advances Day grows ever deeper last light slips below a rising sun formed by the light as the night advances now Headlong through the canyon as Big Sky calls In pioneering days here legends tamed the land and moved across the new frontier If they remained today surely they'd recall the day as rulers over all they surveyed And there at the end of the canyon, the mountains part, receding the heavens open up, horizon to horizon A part of everyone is connected here and here I realize the moment of belonging In quarries east of Eden once we washed our bodies clean, now those memories fade; now the warm earth cools, the colors of the night replace the day and in one moment Stars fill the sky, one for each man and woman everywhere All our hopes and fears combine; we have no choice but to discover the realization that we all live forever in each other As the night goes on, there on the open plain we cling together, counting the stars at Big Sky ©1999 Denison, Geihe, James, Park, Pfeifer
