Wild Places Lyrics


Silence slips between us
Solitude complete
The stillness clear
And close as heaven's doorThe earth beats out its rhythm
In slow and perfect time
Counterpoint and harmonies
Life's melodies entwineAnd we fight the battle here
Where there's time to fall in step
The secrets are still known here
But the secrets never keptWild places, somewhere
We can see the Father's hand
Wild places, somewhere
We can be alone with you
We need a promised landMaybe 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 timeWe'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 beganWild places, somewhere
We can see the Father's hand
Wild places, somewhere
We can be alone with you
We need a promised landWood smoke rising
Faces alive in the firelight
Forsaking the road
And making it home to be there tonightThe 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 handThere's a moment caught suspended
Communion born between our eyes
Our vision clears
Its golden flight ascendingAnd 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 thenBut we'll take it as it is crazy
With love and disbelief
And the magic of your morning
The wilderness, the peaceWild places, somewhere
We can the Father's hand
Wild places, somewhere
We can be alone with you
We need a promised land
We need a promised land

The trio Peter, Paul and Mary (often PP&M) is an American musical group that was one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the 1960s. The trio comprises Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers. The group was created by manager Albert Grossman, who sought to create a folk "supergroup" by bringing together "a tall blonde (Travers), a funny guy (Stookey), and a good looking guy (Yarrow)." He launched the group in 1961, booking them into the Bitter End, a coffee house in New York City's Greenwich Village that was a favorite place to hear folk artists.
