Aurora Nova The Wild Places Lyrics

I was walking alone through the loft
   San Juans
With a heart full of
light
And a head full of songs
I was thinking of time
And how much it
will cost
To recapture the souls
That we surely have lost.
In the
cities and towns
There are millions who dream
But the traffic's so
loud
That you can't hear them scream
There's a heaven on earth
That so
few ever find
Though the map's in your soul
And the road's in your
mind.
So many mountains before us
So many rivers to cross
Where is the
wisdom to bring
Back the vision we've lost?
Can we gaze with the wonder of
children
Into the deafening night
Has it gotten so dark
That you cannot
remember the light?
When you sleep on the ground
With the stars in your
face
You can feel the full length
Of the beauty and grace.
In the wild
places man
Is an unwelcome guest
But it's here than I'm found
And it's
here I feel blessed.
