Into the woods

I’m going to go into the woods today

and call out to those we’ve lost

I’ll walk and call

until they come

out of the woods today

I’m going to go out on the river today

and call out to those we’ve lost

I’ll row and call

until they come

to the shore today

I’m going to go into the city today

and call out to those we’ve lost

I’ll drive and call

until they come

out on the streets today

wherever they went yesterday

I know that if I just call

they will hear me

and they’ll come

into my heart today
