"Zion's Promise"
[Verse I]
Where angels fear to tread
Past weeping rocks and hanging falls
In crimson glory spread
Through Narrows carved by virgin streams
In slots a thousand feet deep
While emerald pools reflect the dreams
Where sand and river meet
[Chorus]
Utah's walls and towers join earth to sky
Displayed In shades of crimson, deep
Where ancient waters have had their way
Through secrets the stones still keep
Past arches drawn against the desert light
Barren mesas as red as blood stand tall
A maze of painted cliffs still catching fire
Of an endless sunset's golden call
[Verse 2]
In Bryce's grand theater of stone
Where hoodoo spirits dance
As if the ancients themselves had to atone
For Time's slow circumstance
And Rainbow Point at breaking dawn
Where a thousand colors come alive
While silent sentinels stand guard
As the eagle and the hawk wheel and dive
[Verse 3]
A delicate arch bends precariously
Against the deep blue sky
While balanced rocks defy gravity
And ancient ways mystify
Those of us who still remain
Where Green and Colorado meet
Past Island in the Sky's domain
Those rivers carved so deep
[Verse 4]
Capitol Reef's great wrinkled fold
Tells tales of earth's own heart
Through fruit tree groves in desert gold
Where settlers made their mark
Past petroglyphs on canyon walls
Where ancient stories dwell
While Waterpocket's ridges rise
With secrets yet to tell
[Chorus]
Utah's walls and towers join earth to sky
Displayed In shades of crimson, deep
Where ancient waters have had their way
Through secrets the stones still keep
Past arches drawn against the desert light
Barren mesas as red as blood stand tall
A maze of painted cliffs still catching fire
Of an endless sunset's golden call
