Steve Goodman - Grand Canyon Song lyrics

Run come see what this river has done Carved the walls of Grand Canyon With the colors of the risin' sun And paint a picture of the Promised Land In that limestone rock and sand Run come see what this river has done Won't somebody walk with me? We'd go strollin' past the Colorado River's sweet legacy Turnin' back that clock for heaven's sake One hundred years with every step you take Won't somebody come and walk with me? There's a rainbow 'round the moon And that mornin' fog will roll in soon It's so beautiful it takes your breath Gets so quiet that I'm scared to d**h Every time I see that rainbow around the moon Such a beautiful mystery Tell me who will save it for our posterity? Because no man has a mortgage or a lease On Mother Nature's masterpiece Hey, now it's up to you and me Run come see what this river has done Carved the walls of Grand Canyon With the colors of the risin' sun Maybe someday the folks we elect Will show this land a little more respect If they could run come see what this river has done
