Of Wilderness

If you're wanting me to sort this out

Then, honey, I will let you down

I know you want to think it's all worked out

But there are places you don't talk about

And there are things you really need to see

Beyond the order of the city streets

Out on the edges where the shadows lift

Something's moving in the wilderness

All of your bricks didn't build it

None of your doubts ever break it

So you can talk, talk all you want

I think we're all lost till we've walked in the wilderness

You know the prophets and the madmen both

Hear a voice and call the desert home

They swear it's gospel but you'll never know

It's only gossip till you go

And I've noticed how your garden grows

All the sweat you spend to keep it in such perfect rows

Did you miss the beauty blooming in the wild groves

All of your bricks didn't build it

None of your doubts ever break it

So you can talk, talk all you want

I think we're all lost till we've walked in the wilderness

I've noticed how your garden grows

All laid out in perfect rows

I noticed how your garden grows

All of your bricks didn't build it

None of your doubts ever break it

So you can bow down all you want

If no one speaks back are you sure someone's listening

If you got quiet for a moment

And finally put your faith where your mouth is

What are you afraid you will hear

I think we're all lost till we've lived in the wilderness

Till we've lived in the wilderness

Till we're living in the wilderness

If you're wanting me to sort this out

Then, honey, I will let you down
