(Verse 1)
Sunrise paints the canyon red, a hawk is circling overhead
Another day begins to bloom, chasing shadows from the gloom
Dust devils dance across the plains, a whisper riding on the rains
Of memories that cling so tight, to the edges of the fading light
(Chorus)
This ain't no manufactured dream, it's a heart that beats a wilder theme
Living in the moment, raw and free, this is the natural life for me
No gilded cages, no painted walls, just the answering call, before I fall
Into the rhythm, slow and deep, secrets that the mountains keep
(Verse 2)
Cracked leather, worn and thin, the stories etched upon my skin
Each line a lesson, learned in stride, with nothing left for me to hide
The river flows, a constant guide, reflecting stars deep inside
A spirit searching for its home, beyond the reach of cellular phone
(Chorus)
This ain't no manufactured dream, it's a heart that beats a wilder theme
Living in the moment, raw and free, this is the natural life for me
No gilded cages, no painted walls, just the answering call, before I fall
Into the rhythm, slow and deep, secrets that the mountains keep
(Bridge)
Some may call it loneliness, a solitary wilderness
But I find comfort in the breeze, and wisdom whispered through the trees
Here the truth is plain to see, the beauty of simplicity
(Chorus)
This ain't no manufactured dream, it's a heart that beats a wilder theme
Living in the moment, raw and free, this is the natural life for me
No gilded cages, no painted walls, just the answering call, before I fall
Into the rhythm, slow and deep, secrets that the mountains keep
(Outro)
The mountains keep, the mountains keep
Secrets buried, strong and deep
This natural life, this natural life
Underneath the endless sky...
Underneath the endless sky...
