text: Silence slips between us
  Solitude complete
  The stillness clear
  And close as heavens door
  The earth beats out its rhythm
  In slow and perfect time
  Counterpoint and harmonies
  Lifes melodies entwine
  And we fight the battle here
  Where theres time to fall in step
  The secrets are still known here
  But the secrets never kept
  Wild places, somewhere
  We can see the Fathers hand
  Wild places, somewhere
  We can be alone with you
  We need a promised land
  Maybe well be wounded in the healing
  Its 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
  Well learn her ways with time
  Well learn to take it as it comes
  We cant change faster than we can
  Already were a long way
  From the children we began
  Wild places, somewhere
  We can see the Fathers 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 of a land
  Putting dreams back together
  Talking it through, reaching out for the hand
  Theres 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 well take it as it is crazy
  With love and disbelief
  And the magic of your morning
  The wilderness, the peace
  Wild places, somewhere
  We can the Fathers hand
  Wild places, somewhere
  We can be alone with you
  We need a promised land
  We need a promised land
