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 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
