Frozen Handcarts

Verse 1] Fear and dire situation Led to the awful needs Bringing out the worst in them The Donner Party deeds Knowing food could have saved this party Edward Martin led the late company The handcarts were loaded up with food To share as an entire group [Pre-Chorus] Starvation looked them in the face Soon, the journey became a race The Winter was setting in Could they conquer and win? [Chorus] Frozen handcarts, hold on tight Frozen handcarts through the white Starving in the snow Still they had to go Frozen handcarts, hold on tight [Verse 2] Along the trail some died Frozen sleeping side by side The wind kept taking names And the sky kept the blame Starving in the snow With their hope still aglow Boots bit through the crust Each step carved out of dust [Pre-Chorus] Starvation looked them in the face Soon, the journey became a race The Winter was setting in Could they conquer and win? [Chorus] Frozen handcarts, hold on tight Frozen handcarts through the white Starving in the snow Still they had to go Frozen handcarts, hold on tight [Bridge] Then the rescue came like a dream Through the snow they saw the team Fed, on frozen feet they walked on To Zion it would not be long [Final Chorus] Frozen handcarts, hold on tight Frozen handcarts through the white Starving in the snow Still they had to go Frozen handcarts, hold on tight
