Wild Places |
Silence slips between us, solitude complete |
The stillness clear and close as heaven’s door |
The earth beats out its rhythm, in slow and perfect time |
Counterpoint and harmonies, life’s melodies entwine |
And we fight the battle here where there’s time to fall in step |
The secrets are still known here, but the secrets never kept |
Wild places, somewhere we can see the father’s hand |
Wild places, somewhere we can be alone with you |
We need a promised land. |
Maybe we’ll be wounded in the healing, |
It’s to be broken to be sure |
Can we embrace this strange awakening together? |
Is wisdom carved into creation? |
The old relationships defined |
As forbidding as her truth may be We’ll learn her ways with time |
We’ll learn to take it as it comes |
We can’t change faster than we can |
Already we’re a long way from the children we began |
Wood smoke rising, faces alive in the firelight |
Forsaking the road and making it home to be there tonight |
The young making good what they found in the wood |
What they learned of a land |
Putting dreams back together |
Talking it through, reaching out for the hand |
There’s a moment caught suspended |
Communion born between our eyes |
Our vision clears its golden flight ascending |
And we have seen what we have come for |
And we will some day see again |
But we have climbed into the mountains |
So we must climb back down 'til then |
But we’ll take it as it is crazy with love and disbelief |
And the magic of your morning |
The wilderness, the peace |
…somewhere we can touch the father’s hand… |
We need a promised land. |
