Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the roller coaster ride
That my emotions have to take me on
I heard a newborn baby cry
Through the night
[Verse 2]
I heard a perfect echo die
Into an anonymous wall of digital sound
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Amazon
You had so much, and now so much is gone
What are you going to 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
A natural beauty should be preserved
Like a monument
