Natural Beauty Lyrics

On the roller coaster ride
That my emotions have to take me on
I heard a newborn baby cry
Through the night

I heard a perfect echo die
Into an anonymous wall of digital sound
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul

A natural beauty should be preserved like a monument to nature
Don't judge yourself too harsh, my love
Or someday you might find your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be preserved like a monument to nature

Amazon
You had so much and now so much is gone
What are you gonna do
With your life?

What a lucky man
To see the earth before it touched his hand
What an angry fool
To condemn

One more night to go
One more sleep upon your burning banks
A greedy man never knows
What he's done

A natural beauty should be preserved like a monument to nature
Don't start yourself too short, my love
Or someday you might find your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be preserved like a monument to nature

Went to the rodeo today
I saw the cowgirls lined up on the fence
A brand new Chevrolet
A brand new pair of seamless pants

We watched the moment of defeat
Played back over on the video screen
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul

A natural beauty should be preserved like a monument
