Crossing A Canyon Lyrics
Sitting on the edge atop a canyon
I'm a piece of time too small to name
There's a sign that's hanging over me
Let me disappear and try again
I'm no prophet but I've seen things
When right and wrong become
too close
In that moment of my greatness
I become afraid and watch it go
CHORUS
And the day is long
And the bridge is gone
And the river has washed away
The road I'm on
Only road I know
Everybody's got a problem
Something to do with self control
You gotta tell somebody if you
got one
You can't pretend you didn't know
Staring out across the canyon
My eyes won't tell me what to see
If I let go I could be floating
From the river to the sea
CHORUS
If I let go I could be floating
From the river to the sea
CHORUS
I'm a piece of time too small to name
There's a sign that's hanging over me
Let me disappear and try again
When right and wrong become
too close
In that moment of my greatness
I become afraid and watch it go
And the day is long
And the bridge is gone
And the river has washed away
The road I'm on
Only road I know
Something to do with self control
You gotta tell somebody if you
got one
You can't pretend you didn't know
My eyes won't tell me what to see
If I let go I could be floating
From the river to the sea
CHORUS
If I let go I could be floating
From the river to the sea
CHORUS

Some of what I got from this song is sharing what you've learned in life with other people, and your own experience is knowledge and not necessarily just what you see.
The song also speaks to me about doing what you've grown to know throughout life, which might not be the best way. Also I sense it's a song about feeling stuck in a situation in life, and your stuck with what your familiar with....maybe it's telling us to let go of our comfort zone and branch out into new territory in terms of our way of life.
