As I chase that evenin' sun towards my home,
Headed up the canyon all alone,
Worries are behind me, fade to black,
I got my windows down, the city to my back.


Quiet Contemplation,
a few minutes to unwind.
The river's got me hypnotized
and it slows my busy mind.


I know what's waiting for me up around the next bend,
And I'm up the canyon headed home again.


The sun is sinking low down in the west,
Another working day has put me to the test.
At ev'ry turn the air grows cooler as I climb,
Up the canyon I feel better every time.


Quiet Contemplation,
a few minutes to unwind.
The river's got me hypnotized
and I love the smell of the pines.
Tomorrow brings another day of working,
But I'm up the canyon headed home again!


The river cuts a steady course,
From years of headin' seaward.
I follow that canyon back upstream.
The river's song is pure and true,
It never ages.
It's as timeless as a dream.


I know what's waiting for me up around the next bend,
and I'm up the canyon headin' home again!
