[Verse 1] Crimson clay beneath the morning sky Where the ancient silent canyon wall stands high Mist is rising like a phantom breath Sinking down into the valley far beneath A golden light is breaking through the grey Washing all the dusty stones away [Chorus] Oh, the earth is wide and wild and free Carved in stone and stretching to the sea From the highest peak to the deepest floor Where the quiet winds are singing evermore Can you hear the mountain call? See the golden shadows fall? [Verse 2] Rushing rivers carve a winding track Through the pines that hold the winter back Every ridge is painted in the cold Where the stories of the old days are retold A thousand miles of rugged open ground In the majesty of silence we are found [Chorus] Oh, the earth is wide and wild and free Carved in stone and stretching to the sea From the highest peak to the deepest floor Where the quiet winds are singing evermore Can you hear the mountain call? See the golden shadows fall? [Outro] Across the endless sky Where the eagles fly The stone remains Beneath the silver rains [Fade Out]
