good evening i'm a heathen and i stand accused of treason 
but believe me while i'm breathing i'm not afraid of thieving 
lots of people's making babies and someone's got to feed them 
go tell it on the mountaintop with everyone repeating 

the wilderness / is not for purchase/ the will of god is not the church’s 
the wilderness / is not for purchase/ the will of god is not the church’s 

money is made from men on the moon and hearts are made for breaking 
making love is always evil when it's shameful to be naked 
you don't need to be an astronaut if you have imagination 
if the money's unforgiving then the law is for the taking 

the wilderness is not for purchase/ the will of god is not the church’s 
the wilderness is not for purchase/ the will of god is not the church’s 

there's love that seeks out fortune and love that's left behind 
from the insanity of wisdom by the depravity of time 
unwinding in the music that is magic never-mind 
said the statue to the statues that were stationed in a line behind 
the signs of life abandoned by the language of the blind divined 
by sultry repetition immaterial to time we find 
when the night falls, the bats call and the stars shine on the pratfalls 
in the baseball and the opera; Zarathustra, Cleopatra 
the mahatma, Kali Yuga, Dalai Lama, Martin Luther 
Kama Sutra, Alyosha, Dulcinea, Messasoia 
the Sequoia, the Coyote, Woody Guthrie, Goyaate 
Myamoto Musashi in Hindi and Farsi 
Italian and Japanese, the crescent moon, the banyon trees 
The setting sun, the seven seas, the air you breath, the blood you bleed 

the wilderness is not for purchase/ the will of god is not the church’s 
the wilderness is not for purchase/ the will of god is not the church’s
