I was born in the city Went out on my own Climbed the highest mountain that I know (oh) Hunted for some elk, fixed up my own tent (oh oh) But I'm still closer, close to nature Closer, close to God Closer, closer to myself I went down to the valley And I saw a gun Clutched so tightly by the hunter pointing at his mouth (oh) I ran as fast as I could but when I looked to where he stood he was gone I saw him fall But now he's closer, close tu nature Closer, close to God Closer, closer to himself I went back to the city where I wasn't know Walked the streets all night feeling so alone (oh) Buildings like chandeliers iluminating my fears (oh oh) But I'm still closer, close to nature Closer, close to God Closer, closer to myself
