[Verse 1]
On the roller coaster ride
That my emotions have to take me on
I heard a newborn baby cry through the night
I heard a perfect echo die
Into an anonymous wall of digital sound
Somewhere deep inside of my soul

[Chorus]
A natural beauty should be
Preserved like a monument to nature
Don't judge yourself too harsh, my love
Or someday you might find your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be
Preserved like a monument to nature

[Verse 2]
Amazon, you had so much and now so much is gone
What are you going to do with your life?
What a lucky man
To see the earth before it touched his hand
What an angry fool to condemn
One more night to go
One more sleep upon your burning banks
A greedy man never knows what he's done
[Chorus]
A natural beauty should be
Preserved like a monument to nature
Don't sell yourself too short, my love
Or someday you might find your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be
Preserved like a monument to nature

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]
Went to the rodeo today
I saw the cowgirls lined up on the fence
A brand new Chevrolet
A brand new pair of seamless pants
We watched the moment of defeat
Played back over on the video screen
Somewhere deep inside of my soul

[Harmonica Solo]

[Outro]
A natural beauty should be
Preserved like a monument
