White cliffroses and pinchon pine
Earth has swallowed all the insults done to her
Shrugs off centuries and still has time
The river whittles as it wanders
A mighty canyon on it's way
To make a niche take time to ponder
Don't have to get there in a day
It's thirty years before Saguaro cactus blooms
The blossoms opening at night
Forty more before it sprouts a branch and looms
A human silhouette embracing the light
You can live throughout longevity
You can blossom when no one sees
You can still branch out at seventy
Take a chance or take your ease
It's thirty years before Saguaro cactus blooms
The blossoms opening at night
Forty more before it sprouts a branch and looms
A human silhouette embracing the light
Don't believe thosewho say it's over
That it's too late now you're past your prime
Just keep on growing branch out and blossom
Where there's breath there's hope and life
And time
Up on the ridge with the Utah juniper White cliffroses and pinchon pine Earth has swallowed all the insults done to her Shrugs off centuries and still has time The river whittles as it wanders A mighty canyon on it's way To make a niche take time to ponder Don't have to get there in a day It's thirty years before Saguaro cactus blooms The blossoms opening at night Forty more before it sprouts a branch and looms A human silhouette embracing the light You can live throughout longevity You can blossom when no one sees You can still branch out at seventy Take a chance or take your ease It's thirty years before Saguaro cactus blooms The blossoms opening at night Forty more before it sprouts a branch and looms A human silhouette embracing the light Don't believe thosewho say it's over That it's too late now you're past your prime Just keep on growing branch out and blossom Where there's breath there's hope and life And time Explain Request ×
