lyrics

Be Wild

Hear the creek of your bones as you creep through your home
Mutter lines from your tome like some old ghostly crone

Better gone from your mind letters burn that you find
Pictures fade from a time you were young unrefined
Will you flee your cage of insanity?
Will you break the chains you made?

And take a drive through winding countryside
Board a flight to a secret ocean prize
Take a hike through forest to mountain pride
Open wide to the fruit of paradise
And get out of the game
Fly free with the strange
And be wild

Do you sleep through the day? Take a peek through the shade?
See the dream to be made There’s no time to be afraid

Wash the dust from your face Stretch the rust from your grace
Leave the past in its place Ride the wave to future space
Will you scream for sacred humanity?
Will you stake the claim you made?

And take a drive through winding countryside
Board a flight to a secret ocean prize
Take a hike through forest to mountain pride
Open wide to the fruit of paradise
And get out of the game
Fly free with the strange
And be wild
