Grand Canyon Song - Steve Goodman

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 death

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
