From the recording As I Am
Lyrics
Wild Thing
Verse 1:
Never love a wild thing
It comes and goes as it wants
It’ll charm you with its beauty
Then suddenly, it's gone
Verse 2:
You must've scared it away
In fact, precisely not
You cared and nurtured it
And then it grew strong
Chorus:
But oh it soars so high
It's amazing when it flies
But soon all ur doing
Is staring at the sky
Verse 3:
You gave it the choice
No need for a device
Liberty's not free
It always has a price
Verse 4:
It may not be safe
But oh what if it's true
It’s best when it returns
Then you know it loved you too
Chorus:
But oh it soars so high
It's amazing when it flies
But soon all ur doing
Is staring at the sky
Chorus 2 (end)
Do not grow faint and bitter
Oh tenderhearted one
Don’t forget you too are whole
And soar right through the sun
