[Verse 1] Stepped down below the canyon rim Where the morning turns to stone Every wall a thousand pages Written in a tongue unknown The light falls different down here Bends through corridors of red I followed where the shadows pointed Trusted what the silence said [Chorus] And the canyon bends, the canyon bends When you lay your hands against the wall The river finds the shape you give it The echo answers when you call We didn't come to pass through darkness We came to teach the dark to glow The canyon bends for those who listen For those who learn to let it know [Verse 2] Found the map beneath the surface Circuits running through the clay Every ridge a frozen question Every fault line a doorway The water's always known the way down Through the valleys, through the seams But a hand upon the headwaters Can redirect a thousand streams [Bridge] Two canyons at the fork One lit, one running blind One where every vein of copper Shows you what the dark designed We pressed our hands against the clay And felt the current underneath Chose to learn the canyon's language Before we tried to make it speak [Chorus] And the canyon bends, the canyon bends When you lay your hands against the wall The river finds the shape you give it The echo answers when you call We didn't come to pass through darkness We came to teach the dark to glow The canyon bends for those who listen For those who learn to let it know [Outro] The accordion hums through sandstone halls Revolution in the deep The canyon remembers those who shaped it The canyon never sleeps
