Through the whispering woods and over the streams
The land stretches wide, beyond the dreams
Moss-covered stones and ancient trees
Tales of the wild that ride the breeze
In the heart of the forest, where the quiet sings
I find my soul on wide, green wings
The trees stand watch, the mountains guard
In America's woods, I leave my heart
In the heart of the forest, where the quiet sings
I find my soul on wide, green wings
The trees stand watch, the mountains guard
In America's woods, I leave my heart
From the Smokies' mist to the big skies west
Each wooded crest has its own zest
With every step, the earth
The sunset bleeds into the creek
The world is speaking, whispering, I seek
The fireflies dance in the twilight hour
In America's woods, I feel the power
The sunset bleeds into the creek
The world is speaking, whispering, I seek
The fireflies dance in the twilight hour
In America's woods, I feel the power
In the heart of the forest, where the quiet sings
I find my soul on wide, green wings
The trees stand watch, the mountains guard
In America's woods, I leave my heart
So I'll wander still, through paths unknown
In the forest's heart, where I've grown
And when my days come to their close
In whispering woods, I'll repose
