The Wild Places

作曲 : Dan Fogelberg

作词 : Fogelberg

I was walking alone through the lofty 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 that I'm found and it's here I feel blessed
