Bittersweet Grand Canyon

I was standing on the edge
When my life began to change
And now I'm on the bottom
Like I'm digging my own grave

It's a long a road to the outside
And as far as I can see
Everything that happened here
Is a distant memory

Chorus
Bittersweet Grand Canyon
The years have been so hard on you
Bittersweet Grand Canyon
Now I know what you've been through

The beauty that surrounded us
Would take my breath away
But the rivers that run through here
Cut me deeper every day

A million stars above me
A million promises unfulfilled
A warm wind blows around me
But inside I feel a chill

Chorus

I think I'll take a plane
When I visit there again
View it from a distance
And remember what it meant

Take in all the colors
Lay back and close my eyes
I'll go down again one day
But only when it's right

Chorus
