Lyrics:
The first time I saw Sedona
I was barely 17
Big red rocks
Bright blue sky
White hot fear fire burning
And the call of your life and your family
Is the call of a siren from the sea
But you don’t know everything that’s waiting
When you’re barely 17
Now the desert and oceans have their voices
But they don’t speak in words
They speak in waves
In thunder and lightning
They speak in blessings and curses
And they speak in lessons of spirit
Of the dreams that you will and won’t chase
Yeah they speak of unspeakable things
All the truths that you’ll have to face
And it goes on forever
It goes on forever
It goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on
I want you to know that I understand
I understand what you’ve done with your life
I understand we’re all doing the best we can
I understand that nobody knows why
Nobody knows why the red bird sings
On a branch as it’s breaking with ice
I guess everyone needs their own song to sing
Something to make them feel warm and dry
Take back your precious heart
Take down your favorite guitar
Take out all your stories
Your search for glory
The lessons you hope to impart
It’s snowing up in Sedona
But the road to get through is still clear
I’m gonna go up and dance with the fire
I’m gonna burn down all my fear
And let it burn forever
Let it burn forever
Let it burn burn
Burn burn
Burn down to the ground
