Now everybody's finding their own way
And days feel like years these days
And I've adjusted to the hustle
But sometimes it gets me flustered
Feel like I've been running uphill
With no time to recover
Take a breath
Slow down
Forget the rat race
Cause chances are
My obligations can wait
But there's a place that always calms me down
Beyond the shuffle of the crowds
Where the lost can be found
I've been hiking in my boots
I've been searching for some truth
I found it far beyond the blink of the city lights
I've been falling out of touch
With the world that has become
And so I stepped outside and left it all behind
Towards wild places
Out here where the creeks run free
Wild places you can find a little piece of peace
Wild places beneath the tree tops and mountain skies
Wild places where the world is allowed to thrive
Wild places where the beasts roam free and far
Wild places where the stars still pierce the dark
Wild places take me back to the place it began
Wild places to the same place where it ends
It's been a long time that I've been gone
But I'm coming home
I'm coming home
We live so close together
Yet never felt more separate
Imprisoned in our cell phones
They got us locked up in em
And no question I've been caught in the tide too
A fiend for these screens like gold for the fools
But I know what to do
To free myself from these shackles
The path less traveled takes me back
To where these thoughts can unravel
Like a river when it whispers
Like a leaf when it falls
If you listen to the stillness
You can still hear the call
I've been hiking in my boots
I've been searching for some truth
I found it far beyond the blink of the city lights
I've been falling out of touch
With the world that has become
And so I stepped outside and left it all behind
Towards wild places
Out here where the creeks run free
Wild places you can find a little piece of peace
Wild places beneath the tree tops and mountain skies
Wild places where the world is allowed to thrive
Wild places where the beasts roam free and far
Wild places where the stars still pierce the dark
Wild places take me back to the place it began
Wild places to the same place where it ends
It's been a long time that I've been gone
But I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I reckon it's out here
Surrounded by the beyond
That I have learned the most about the world
And even more about myself
Above all else it has taught me humility
I have discovered that I will never be a conqueror of mountains
Or a tamer of rivers
For I do not own this wilderness
But I can say that I will always belong to it
