Dawn is coming so open your eyes in the Monument Valley


The three Mittens in Monument Valley are part of the Colorado Plateau and is located on the Arizona-Utah state line. The valley lies within the Navajo Nation Reservation. 

Ever been somewhere that instantly reminds you of lyrics to a song? Well that is what happened to me when I visited Monument Valley. For those that know me this won't be strange as you have no doubt been around when something you have said has sparked me to start singing some lyrics from a song, in a not at all good singing voice.

Monument Valley with is magnificently red and orange coloured soil and rocks instantly had me humbling this little gem called Stay Alive by Jose Gonzalez. If you have never heard the song give it a try because in the words of Jose the dawn is coming so open your eyes and look into the sun as a new days rise!


There's a rhythm in rush these days 
Where the lights don't move and the colours don't fade 
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams 
In a world gone shallow 
In a world gone mean 

Sometimes there's things a man cannot know 
Gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow 
There's no place to run and no gasoline 
Engine won't turn 
And the train won't leave 
Engine won't turn 
And the train won't leave 

I will stay with you tonight 
Hold you close till the morning light 
In the morning watch a new day rise 
We'll do whatever just to stay alive 
We'll do whatever just to stay alive 

Well the way I feel is the way I write 
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies 
There is a truth and it's on our side 
Dawn is coming 
Open your eyes 

Look into the sun as the new days rise 
And I will wait for you tonight 
You're here forever and you're by my side 

I've been waiting all my life 
To feel your heart as it's keeping time 
We'll do whatever just to stay alive 

Dawn is coming 
Open your eyes 
Dawn is coming 
Open your eyes 
Dawn is coming 
Open your eyes 
Dawn is coming 
Open your eyes 

Look into the sun as the new days rise 
There's a rhythm in rush these days 
Where the lights don't move and the colours don't fade
Leave you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone mean 

But there is a truth and it's on our side 
Dawn is coming open your eyes
Look into the sun as a new days rise
