down a wild river,
in a ravine cut through gray granite
ina jagged blue mountains
ina back of your mind.

there's a drop over cliffs,
where a spirit cannot ride.
where a boy hasta toe and finger
and make a portage.

yeah there is a place in you
where no one's ever been
craggy rocked heart-spirit place
a wilderness deep within

a lonly wolf is breain'
steel hearted cougar praying
a growlin grizzly playing
they can see me a comin'

down a wild river
ina ravine cut through gray granite
ina jagged blue mountains
ina back of your mind

im ina place in you, where no-one can ever cry
im ina place in you, where the young heart reach the sky
im ina place in you, where you are ever free.
im ina place in you, where you are ina place in me.

o close your eyes lucia.
and look up through the forest
where the wind river comes down from the ravine
and watch the clear green pools
the tumbling little falls.
and soon enough you'll feel me.
come portage from outa the wilderness
you keep ina back of your mind.
cuz i am carried in the wind
and i am dropped in you by the rains
deep back within
in your jagged blue mountains
