To the Wild

Go down, go on down
To where the woodland meets the wild
When I was a child I was there
And I promised a simple vow
I would find my way back to that place somehow
I will not be laid here to rest
As a long a heart beats in my chest
I’m gonna run
I’m gonna run to the wild
I saw lights, bright city lights
They drew me out on the horizon
Before I knew there was one, I was tied up to its post
Every day, every direction
Running errands in circles of confusion
I will not be laid here to rest
As a long a heart beats in my chest
I’m gonna run
I’m gonna run to the wild
In the long night, the only night
The first breath always finds the light
As you wander out to meet me in this fog
Will we have what we need to carry on?
Go down, go on down
While you’re still a little child
You can teach me now what I knew then
Would you promise a simple vow?
We will find our way back to that place somehow
I will not be laid here to rest
As a long a heart beats in my chest
I’m gonna run
I’m gonna run to the wild
I’m gonna run
I’m gonna run to the wild
I’m gonna run
Run to the wild
I’m gonna run
To the wild
