Lyrics

Silence slips between us, solitude complete Stillness clear and close as heaven's door The earth beats out its rhythm in slow and perfect time Counterpointed harmonies, plants, melodies entwine And we fight the battle here where there's time to fall and stare The secrets are still known here but the secrets never care 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? There's wisdom carved into creation The old relationships defined As forbidding as the truth may be We'll learn your ways with time We'll learn to take it as it comes We can change faster than we can Already we're a long way From the children we began Wild places Somewhere we can see the Father's hand Wild places Somewhere we can be alone with You We need a promised land 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 on the 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 someday see again But we have climbed into the mountains So we must climb back down till then But we'll take it as it is Crazy with love and disbelief At the magic of your morning The wilderness, the peace Wild places Somewhere we can touch the Father's hand Wild places Somewhere we can be alone with You We need a promised land
