Grand Canyon (Live)

We went to Grand Canyon

And we stood at the expanse

And we watched the rocks change colors

And we watched the shadows dance

And we probably didn't say anything

As the sunset turned to night

We let the spirits do the talking

With the cascades of faded light

And we drove across the desert

And saw the mountain range at dawn

Heard the thunder rumbles echo

Against the rocks that Gods were made from

And we drove across the wastelands

Until we finally reached the sea

And I wondered how life so sturdy

Could just one day cease to be

I'm never one to wonder

That the things beyond control

I stare off into the darkness

And I feel the highway roll

I feel the highway roll

And we roll on in the darkness

Till that darkness turns to day

Lift our sorrows, pains and angers

And we turn them into play

There's no time to dwell upon it

It's this life that we chose

That made it all worth living

Thus the horrors that life throws

If the recently departed make the sunsets

To say farewell to the ones they left behind

There were technicolor hues to see our sadness through

As the sun over Athens said goodbye, said goodbye

Said goodbye

There's a white owl out my window

Soft-lit in fading light

He wasn't soaring through the clouds

Wasn't hunting through the night

My dreams I'll still can see him

Flying through a western sky

And I'll think about Grand Canyon

And I'll lift my glass and smile

I'll lift my glass and smile

I'll smile
