lyrics

WILDER THINGS Ian Roland

VERSE 1
WILDER THINGS DISAPPEARED
FLATTENED OUT OVER YEARS, BUT THE
SPARKS OF LIGHT, IN THE SEEDS THAT FALL
SHOW WILDER THINGS CAN ENDURE
THE HEARTS REFUGE OF HOPE REMAINS
WILDER THINGS THIS EARTH RECLAIM

CHORUS 1
LIGHTENING BOLT FROM THE BLUE
SO CLEAR LIFE’S IN LOVE WITH YOU
COULD JUST, TEAR YOUR, SELF APART
WILD THINGS BEAT, WITHIN YOUR HEART

VERSE 2
WILDER THINGS SMOTHERED WHOLE
BLINDFOLDS GONE AND NOW WE KNOW
SPARKS OF LIGHT, IN THE SEEDS THAT FALL
PRAY FOR TREES TO GROW AS TALL
AS HEARTS REFUGE OF HOPE REMAINS
WILDER THINGS THIS EARTH RECLAIM

CHORUS 2
FIRE, FIRE WITHIN YOUR SOUL
DON’T, EVER, LET IT GO
COULD JUST, THROW IT, ALL AWAY
WILDER THINGS, MAKE US STAY

CHORUS 1
LIGHTENING BOLT FROM THE BLUE
SO CLEAR LIFE’S IN LOVE WITH YOU
COULD JUST, TEAR YOUR, SELF APART
WILD THINGS BEAT, WITHIN YOUR HEART
