Camp Fire Song

I know what brings you to this place
I'd walk on coals for you
cross the fire to see your face

the mountain air reveals
a clarity we lacked before
this is a different me
than that girl running out the door

civilization's over-rated anyway
everyday living for the chance to get away

there's nothing more serene
than where I find myself at now
the river flows through me
the moon and stars have all come out

your siren song it calls me
up the banks to fire-side
there are no laws but nature's
that compel me to abide

sap flows from trees like tears
from every axe that they have seen
shooting stars wait for my glance
so that they can be seen

my breath's becoming deeper
and my mind is coming clear
so grateful for this moment
and so happy to be here
