If they ask about me, tell 'em I'm just taking my time

Tell 'em not to go looking 'cause they won't like what they find

And if they wonder what it is that keeps the spark and that shine

They're gonna wonder a long time

I want the dawn to break me open

Wanna breathe and be unbroken

I want it to take a while

I wanna be wild

I wanna be wild

If they talk about me, they can say what they please, I guess

All the sticks and stones, they should only leave a scratch

And if they wonder what it is that keeps me hanging on

They're gonna wonder long after I'm gone

I wanna feel the years I've traveled

I wanna let myself unravel

Every minute, every mile

I wanna be wild

I wanna be wild

What they think about me, well, it won't change what I am

Tell 'em not to go building a mountain out of a man

And if they wonder what it is that keeps the spirit bright

Let's keep on guessing all night

I wanna get out of my own way

I wanna fall into every day

Oh, I wanna be worth the while

I wanna be wild

I wanna be wild

I wanna be wild

I wanna be wild

I wanna be wild
