Aurora Nova, The Wild Places lyrics
by Fogelberg Dan



I was walking alone through the loft San JuansWith a heart full of lightAnd a head full of songsI was thinking of timeAnd how much it will costTo recapture the soulsThat we surely have lost.In the cities and townsThere are millions who dreamBut the traffic's so loudThat you can't hear them screamThere's a heaven on earthThat so few ever findThough the map's in your soulAnd the road's in your mind.So many mountains before usSo many rivers to crossWhere is the wisdom to bringBack the vision we've lost?Can we gaze with the wonder of childrenInto the deafening nightHas it gotten so darkThat you cannot remember the light?When you sleep on the groundWith the stars in your faceYou can feel the full lengthOf the beauty and grace.In the wild places manIs an unwelcome guestBut it's here than I'm foundAnd it's here I feel blessed.
