Lyrics
Once in a while I am called to higher ground
Drawn by an urge to get away
With a little help from the wind at my back
Step by step, breathe and relax
I'm going to the mountain today
Up here I can speak to my mother and my father
Don't have to be so sure and strong
I can let the trees shoulder the weight
And the birds fill me with grace
Echoing a high lonesome song
I hear the gospel of nature
And oh I believe in the wonders between the granite and snow
Peace in the wild, carry me like the river
Until it's time to go home
Walkin' along at ease and lost in thought
Thinking 'bout faith in things I can't see
Gonna try to match the beat of my heart
To the pulse of the earth and the stars
And put my trust in wonders between
I hear the gospel of nature
And oh I believe in the wonders between the granite and snow
Peace in the wild, carry me like the river
Until it's time to go home
I hear the gospel of nature
And oh I believe in the wonders between the granite and snow
Peace in the wild, carry me like the river
Until it's time to go home
