	Story Behind the Song There's lots of ways to write a song. I had the basic riff down for this song, and was humming a melody, but no words would come. In desperation I opened a dictionary and the word at the top of the page that fell open was Sequoia. I thought: "well there's a good word to have in a song". The song developed into a whimsical sort of environmental protest song ... kind of. Lyrics I saw the great Sequoia I rode the tourist rail I swam with Neptune's daughter before her brightness failed I walked on Annapurna I touched the nearest stars we drove through California Big Macs and motor cars I remember clean water that fell from the sky I was there when the Challenger blinded my eye. I remember the promises turn into lies never knowing the reason or wondering why. Sequoia I remember the promises turn into lies I remember clean water that fell from the sky.
