On a hill over looking the valley
One lonley stranger appears
Searching th edarkness before him
Captured in starlight and tears
And he turns to the one who has sent him
So far on this phathomless sea
And he wonders how long he must travel
In the heart of the wild country

All around him like silhouettes falling away
Are the children of yesterday's pain
Lost and alone he lays down with the wind
To wait for the sound of the rain
He moves down through the valley of sorrow
Led by the light he set free
And he wonders how long he must travel
In the heart of the wild country

And there on the distant horizon
Where children still dance in the rain
He sees the reflection of morning
And hears someone calling his name
Something inside him remembers
The reason he sails the lost sea
He knows there is someone to lead him
Home from the wild country

Sunlight and shadows bend down from the sky
And children remember his songs
Held in the brace of a whispersing grace
He discovers the mystery of dawn
He bows down to the light that is falling
On the one he was chosen to be
And he touches the hand that has called him
Home from the wild country

Music is the language God used to create the Universe
