He says "Let me hear you call, let me hear you call
The echo of your voices - will echo to the future"
He says "Let me hear you call, let me hear you call!
They can hear you in the future"
You got to buy in to the big idea - Closer than we've ever been
You got to buy in to the big idea - We're gonna build a canyon
He says "Let me hear you call, let me hear you call
Echo of your voices - will echo to the future

They can hear you in the future"
We got to buy in to the big idea - Closer than we've ever been
Got to buy in to the big idea - We're gonna build a canyon
With this river
Then we're gonna dam that river, Then we're gonna flood that canyon
Then we're gonna get our power back, get our power back
We're gonna build a canyon
With this river
"Wait! All is not lost" she said, "We have seeds in the ground
All is not lost!" she said, "You've got it the wrong way round
And I ain't leavin' 'cause this is my home
And you ain't never gonna get your power back, Get your power back!
No you ain't gonna build no canyon
Oh oh oh oh oh
With this river"
And he said "Gather up the children, get 'em in the wagons
Take what you need cause we ain't comin back again"
And she said "No!" I'm not buying in to your big idea
Can you hear me call? Can you hear me call?
Can you hear me in the future?
I'm not buying in to your big idea
Can you hear me call? Can you hear me call?
