G C G

I’m headin' back out to Nature’s Cathedrals

G D

To baptize myself in the river of life

G C G

I set my soul free to soar with the eagles

G D G C D G C D G

And I build me a campfire to light up the night

G C G

And I lay myself down under blankets of sky

G D

The flicker of the firelight will dance in my eye

G C G

I drift off to sleep like a babe in the woods

G D G C D G C D G

Prayin' my evils don’t outweigh my goods

G C G

And there’s whisperin' thunder in the sky that I’m under

G D

It cuts through my mind like sight for the blind

G C G

The world that I want is too hard to look for

G D G C D G C D G

When the world that I need is so easy to find – kind

G C G

I wake up to rain and I hear the wind race

G D

The drops are like pixies are kissin' my face

G C G

It’s so nice to be here and I feel so good

G D G

I will gladly trade iron and concrete for wood

C D G C D G

G C G D G C G C D G

G C G

To the mountains, to the valleys, to the rivers and streams

G D

With a pocket full of spare change and a head full of dreams

G C G

And I’m headin' back out to Nature’s Cathedrals

G D

To baptize myself in the river of life

G C G

I set my soul free to soar with the eagles

G D G

And I build me a campfire to light up the night
