Lyrics
Wilderness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Born in the time of the changes
Where are you going
How will you fly
Is it for love or freedom all your days have been?
Waiting for life to catch you
Watching and waiting and seeking a sign
In the wilderness
Each of us learns while we're sleeping
Sleeping we know
Waking it goes
Fashion a dream of heaven
Hold it close again
Only the Queen of Heaven
Watches us grow, hearing us cry
Wondering and searching and losing our way
In the mire
In the wilderness
Wilderness child, you've got to hold on
Wilderness child, you're gonna find your way home
Wilderness child, you've got to be strong
Wilderness wilderness wilderness child
Wilderness child
Let me see you
Stand in the light
Make me whole again
And if you can then show me
Approach me if you dare
Love is an open secret
Healing and hiding and wondering and weeping
Waiting for someone to find and open the door
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
