A Walk In The Woods

Track #8

from the album Sunrise

3:26

A reflective folk song with flute solo (played by Scott on a MIDI keyboard) that celebrates the positive aspects of going for a walk in the woods, with bongos that keep the pace of a guy and his dog reflecting on what’s important while experiencing wild nature.

"A Walk In The Woods"

Written by Scott Cooley


What could be more wonderful than a walk in the woods

Blazing trails of unknown adventure

With my faithful, four-legged friend by my side

Roaming and exploring the wild together


What could be more wonderful than a walk in the woods

With all the new discoveries that await us

Treasures to be found up in branches and under ground

And scary sounds that only make us more courageous


A reminder of what’s important

A time to be reflective

Pathfinding and unwinding

Putting progress in perspective


What could be more wonderful than a walk in the woods

Wondering what life was like long ago

They had love and struggle, happiness and trouble

More natural beauty than we will ever know


Centuries of health and sickness

Survival of the fittest

Harmonious existence

Paths of least resistance


What could be more wonderful than a walk in the woods

Weighing the advantages, assessing the damages

Taking only what we need, staving off the greed

We’ve come a long way from wolves and savages


What could be more wonderful than a walk in the woods

To free your mind, soothe your soul, and do your body good
