The Lyrics
Wildfires blackening
Oh so much of our land
Nature's own balancing,
Yet, greedy's her hand
Burning Down,
More and more
Burning Down,
What God grew
Burning Down, turning to ashes,
Hills and valleys, we knew
Burning Down, Burning Down,
Burning Down, turning to ashes,
Hills and valleys we knew
In California, Wyoming, and Idaho
In Arizona, and in Utah, too
Burning Down, in Colorado
High flames red and blue
Burning Down, Burning Down,
Burning Down, turning to ashes
The good land we knew
Moments of carelessness,
Just a spark in the drought
Campfires, wrong places,
Then, not put out
Burning Down,
More and more
Burning Down
What God grew
Burning Down, turning to ashes
Hills and valleys we knew
Burning Down, Burning Down,
Burning Down, turning to ashes
The gardens God grew..
Oh so much of our land
Nature's own balancing,
Yet, greedy's her hand
Burning Down,
More and more
Burning Down,
What God grew
Burning Down, turning to ashes,
Hills and valleys, we knew
Burning Down, Burning Down,
Burning Down, turning to ashes,
Hills and valleys we knew
In California, Wyoming, and Idaho
In Arizona, and in Utah, too
Burning Down, in Colorado
High flames red and blue
Burning Down, Burning Down,
Burning Down, turning to ashes
The good land we knew
Moments of carelessness,
Just a spark in the drought
Campfires, wrong places,
Then, not put out
Burning Down,
More and more
Burning Down
What God grew
Burning Down, turning to ashes
Hills and valleys we knew
Burning Down, Burning Down,
Burning Down, turning to ashes
The gardens God grew..
