James Dickey - Deliverance1 lyrics

"When they take another survey and rework this map," Lewis said, "all this in here will be blue. The dam at Wintry has already been started, and when its finished next spring the river will back up fast. this whole valley will be under water. But right now its wild. And i mean wild; up there before the real estate people ge hold of it and make it over into one of their heavens.I leaned forward and concentrated down into the invisible shape he had drawn, trying g to see the changes that would come, the nighttime rising of dammed water bringing a lake up with its choice lots, its marinas and beer cans, and also trying to visualize the land as Lewis said it was at that moment unvisited and free. I breathed in and out once, consciously; my body particularly the back and arms felt ready for something like this. I looked around the bar and then back into the map picking up the river where we would enter it. A little way to the southwest the paper blanched. "Does the mean its higher here?" I asked. "Yes," Lewis said, looking quickly at me to see if I saw he was being tolerant. Ah, he's going to turn this into something, I thought. A lesson. A moral. A life principle. A Way.
