Canyon, can you help me out I need a foot hold I need solid ground Let the water carve a path Erode the things that made me whole Draw a line across the sand So you know exactly where I stand Canyon, can you take me down To the bottom Where I can't be found I look up and all I see are Miles and miles of sky staring back at me Simple subtlety escapes me A bridge across the sky to cut the great divide Delusions of grandeur blur the line Between who I am and what I need I am holding my breath with every step I take I'm holding on to very mistake I make And I feel it coming down and I can't escape An endless canyon separates me From who I am and who I want to be What's the measure of a man If he can't even stand on his own two feet.
