"Into The Wild" lyrics

Moonlight memories
Drifting through the forest of my mind
Back before the war we waged with the plow
Crosscut saw, and the dynamite
These hills ain't what they used to be
The wolves don't howl here anymore
The rivers have been dammed
And they blew the mountains in
I can't recall what was here before
Still we're wanting more

Wind blows in the ponderosa pines
Like a song when I close my eyes
Memories go drifting by
And I'm gone into the wild

Childhood melodies echo in the backwoods of my mind
Free as the wind, the sun upon my skin
Fairy dust falling from the sky
But times ain't like they used to be
The wilderness is hard to find at all
The magic slipped way and the fires start in May
Making way for another shopping mall
Still we want it all

Wind blows in the ponderosa pines
Like a song when I close my eyes
Memories go drifting by
And I'm gone into the wild

Redwood canopies, shadows dancing 'round the forest floor
A wild seed sowed for the great unknown
Growing in my heart forever more
How can we ask for more?

Wind blows in the ponderosa pines
Like a song when I close my eyes
Memories go drifting by
And I'm gone, I'm Gone
Into the wild, into the wild
Into the wild, into the wild
