The Wild Within Me Songs

By Gentri Watson

Lyrics

I wanna live in the woods, I wanna walk at dawn
Sleep in tall grasses and rise with the fawn
I wanna follow coyote, I wanna learn his song
Bathe my lazy body in the afternoon sun

Whoa – oh – oh – oh – oh–– oh – oh – oh – oh–– oh – oh
Whoa – oh – oh – oh – oh–– oh – oh – oh – oh–– oh – oh

I want the raven to rest, here on my shoulder
We can talk about our changing views, as we grow older
I’m beginning to see the damage I’ve been a part of
Forgive me brother I will stop what I have started

Whoa…

Chorus:
The wild within me hears that call saying tread gently
The wild within me remembers how it was
Remembers we were one in the beginning

These trees speak, I put my heart against them
They take a little pain and I take a little wisdom
They say “save me, you have a voice”
They say “save me, you have a choice”

Whoa…

Chorus

Bridge:
I know people used to plant
But now most of us are living off chemicals creating trash
But we can learn to change
We can teach each other to stop
Putting plastic in the ocean, stop destroying our mother

Whoa…
Chorus
