Wilderness / Wilderness

Music: Juuso Virnes
Lyrics: Juuso Virnes

I step inside this realm
World of green, breathing life
Ever growing strength and mysteries
Days of old, ages untold
This stillness calms my soul
Makes my haste disappear
Quiet whispers in the trees
Rejuvenate, make me new

But these days
They don't care
We live in a world of haste
This progress
I call madness
We live in a world of waste
We've forgotten so much

Waiting for the time
An age of understanding
When all could see the beauty in thee
Wilderness left standing

I can breathe, I can heal my mind
In this hallowed space

(Solos: Virnes / Pettersson)

I have heard the forest calling me
Seen the mist on the meadows at dawn
Lain still over this mossy earth
and reflected until dark
I step outside myself
and I see what I've become
I have run in the dark for far too long
But now I must race for the sun!

I can breathe, I could heal my mind
In the wilderness
