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
