They came to Cordura,
They came to Cordura,
In search of destiny
As wanderers have always done;
And there in Cordura,
Somewhere in Cordura,
The hand of destiny
Awaited a certain one.

Bring your hopes and dreams to Cordura,
Only if they dwell deep in your heart,
For the old men say,
"On a chosen day in Cordura,
Fate will bless your dreams or tear them apart!".

They came to Cordura,
They came to Cordura,
And soon were gone like all the rest!
But for him,
Who's dream was blessed in Cordura,
I've found my love in Cordura.
