Defiance Plateau

DEFIANCE PLATEAU by Carol Markstrom (BMI)
VERSE 1
Guitar in hand my anchor, I’m steady and afloat.
Today it’s all or nothin’, escape the status quo.
A place to lie low.
Beyond paved roads.
Weary of unfriendly skies. Forgot where I’m going.
Everyone’s a stranger. Turn back to what I know.
Where warm winds blow.
Calling me home.
CHORUS:
Defiance Plateau
Land of Navajo
Long way to go. (Chorus 2: “Not so far to go”)
VERSE 2
Pinyon pine and juniper hug the rocky slopes
Ponderosa sweet and warm, you reap just what you sow.
The higher I go….
Forget the world below
Suspended by the stars above with distant lights below.
The calm magic of the night grounds my restless soul.
Nowhere on earth like this
Land of Navajo.
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE
Chinle, Ganado, Canyon de Chelle.
Pine Springs, Fluted Rock, it’s all well and safe.
CHORUS 3
Tag: Calling me home.
