about

"Grand Canyon" is the first single from Tomás' upcoming debut album, "Deep Blue"

This song is not so much about the destination itself but how great the journey can be when you get to share it with someone close to you.

lyrics

GRAND CANYON

I want to go to the Grand Canyon
It’s a cliché, I know
There’s something about the world out there
Makes me want to go
‘Cos it’s bigger than me
And it’s bigger than us

I want to go to the Grand Canyon
Where that river flows
We’d take a left after Angel Trail
Up to the plateau
Where the rocks burn bright red
And the sky is dark blue
I want to go to the Grand Canyon

Life’s all about journeys
And what we do here
Life’s all about seeing the smaller things disappear
It’s spending our time with those we love
And feeling a part of something more
And I know that these memories would not shine so bright without you

‘Cos it’s bigger than me
And it’s bigger than us

I want to go to the Grand Canyon
It’s a cliché, I know
We’d make our way out on Skywalk Bridge
Just as far as we can go
Take us through the air
With the stars in the sky
And the stars in your eyes
I want to go to the Grand Canyon
