Aurora Nova and The Wild Places are beautiful songs about appreciating and respecting our planet and all of God's creatures. Unfortunately so many of these lovely animals are currently on the Endangered Species List. Let's all do our part to help them reach a healthy populations status and save them from extinction. By saving our fellow creatures we are saving ourselves.

The Wild Places

I was walking alone through the lofty San Juans
With a heart full of light and a head full of songs
I was thinking of time and how much it will cost
To recapture the souls that we surely have lost

In the cities and towns there are millions who dream
But the traffic's so loud that you can't hear them scream
There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find
Though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind

So many mountains before us, so many rivers to cross
Where is the wisdom to bring back the vision we've lost
Can we gaze with the wonder of children
Into the deafening night
Has it gotten so dark that we cannot remember the light

When you sleep on the ground with the stars in your face
You can feel the full length of the beauty and grace
In the wild places man is an unwelcome guest
But it's here that I'm found and it's here I feel blessed
