THE LIVING IN ME
(Gtr: CGCGCD capo 4th)
A deep river canyon
Looking out from the ledge
A strong wind was blowing
And I was inches from the edge
As the sun started rising
A tear rolled down my face
'Cause there was life on that horizon
And I said this simple grace
May this land stretch forever
May these hills be ever green
Wash my soul in the waters
Of a river pure and clean
Lift my spirit to heaven
On a pair of shining wings
May I always remember
The living in me
The streets of my city
Are as dead as any other
There are billboards and discount stores
And a blacktop cover
But this river runs deeper
Than any street I've ever known
It cuts into my heart
Like that canyon down below
So may this land stretch forever
May these hills be ever green
Wash my soul in the waters
Of a river pure and clean
Lift my spirit to heaven
On a pair of shining wings
May I always remember
The living in me
I'm one small part of this universe
And this body is only made
Of water and earth
Make my love as wide as the wind and air
Keep my heart alive
With this little prayer
May this land stretch forever
May these hills be ever green
Wash my soul in the waters
Of a river pure and clean
Lift my spirit to heaven
On a pair of shining wings
May I always remember
The living in me
May I always remember
The living in me
