The liner notes describe the song as follows: “A musical statement portraying the Love Tryst between Man, Nature, and the Almighty. Maria is the name I used for the Madonna of the Mountains (an American Laela). I am aided by the fine violinist Antoinette Marcus.”
[Verse]
All my life I've been riding
These ranges of your heart
And now you've caused my heart to tremble
Like the leaves of Autumn and May
[Chorus]
Oh, you grand Rockies
Rise up forever
Rise up in praise
Towards the sun
Against the sky
Don't know why I cry
[Outro]
Forever
Oh, Maria of the Rockies
Come to me
