NOAH DERKSEN

WILDERNESS OF OREGON

I’m lost 
so come and find me with the cedars 
these broken branches need some healing 
as I can’t forget the past 

how loud 
the silent screams of inhibitions 
watch your confidence grow distant 
as you settle on the floor 

wilderness of Oregon come take me home 
I have no requisitions I just long to roam 
so to Oregon I’ll go 

high cost 
to walk the garden with the roses 
one more look and you’ll be frozen 
a scaffold to the sky 

so cover me 
with your hurricane-like presence 
until I learn how to listen 
and the world falls at my feet 

wilderness of Oregon come take me home 
I have no requisitions I just long to roam 
so to Oregon I’ll go 

I’m lost 
so come and find me with the cedars 

wilderness of Oregon come take me home 
I have no requisitions I just long to roam 
oh wilderness, oh wilderness 
I long to go
