Wild

Little girl walks in the grass

She finds a beetle on its back

Turns it over, sets it free

There in the spirit of a child

Before she’s learned to take her wild

She has answers that we need

Can I be old and still be wild

Run through forests like a child

Knowing I’m both held and free

Find the answers in the trees

Endless curiosity

Find it all inside of me

I used to care what you might think

I was afraid to go too deep

Or be too much

So I got smaller

Felt myself avert my eyes

Quiet down, apologize

I could feel it in my shoulders

(I barely know her)

Can I be old and still be wild

Run through forests like a child

Knowing I’m both held and free

Find the answers in the trees

Endless curiosity

Find it all inside of me

What we feel deep down we know

What we feed will grow

Now I’m older and still wild

Run through forests like a child

Knowing I’m both held and free

I find the answers in the trees

Endless possibilities

Find it all inside of me
