[Verse 1]
In the shadow of the peaks where the Gabrielinos stood
They lived among the oaks and the mountain wood
Then the missions rose and the bells began to toll
But the spirit of the canyon was a river in their soul
[Chorus]
Spirit of the canyon
Breathing through the stone
Carried on the wind in a language of its own
Every step we’re taking on this winding
Dusty road
Spirit of the canyon says
“Remember as you go”
[Verse 2]
Tracks cut through the granite
Iron wheels and smoke
Cabins turned to condos
Every acre sold
Still the owls keep calling when the daylight folds
And the spirit of the canyon hums beneath the gold
[Chorus]
Spirit of the canyon
Breathing through the stone
Carried on the wind in a language of its own
Every step we’re taking on this winding
Dusty road
Spirit of the canyon says
“Remember as you go”
