The Wild Places Lyrics - Dan 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 we cannot remember the light

In the wild places man is an unwelcome guest 

But it's here that I'm found and it's here I feel blessed
