Stay Wild

I am caught in the gaze of a photograph

Vivid colors are fading fast

We are years and years apart

Sharing one beating heart

If my words could reach you now

Stay wild. Stay Wild.

Let your stories come alive

Stay a Child


If I let the snow

Kiss my skin until I cry

Can I let go? 

Let my breath grow wider

Wider, can I

Take you to a wild place tonight?


​You're so quiet

A cry hidden in your throat

You close the door, climb a chair, manage to open the window

Terrified

In the only home you know

Counting stars on the ground below


​If my voice could reach you now

Stay wild. Stay Wild.

Let your stories stay alive

Stay a Child


​If I let the snow

Kiss my skin until I cry

Can I let go? 

Let my breath grow wider

Wider, can I

Take you to a wild place tonight?


If I let the cold

Remind me of the times

You were alone

Let your voice grow louder

Louder, can I 

Hold you in a safe space tonight? 


There's a place we can always find

In the tallest pine

Let's climb higher, higher, let's hide

My dearest child from the world

The world cannot reach us now

We're alone you and I

You sing louder, louder when I

Hold you in a safe space tonight


oooh

Oooh

Aaah

Higher. Higher.


If I let the cold

Remind me of the times you were alone

Let your voice grow louder, louder when I 

Take you to a wild place tonight


My dearest Child
