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 sell 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 to nature.
