Into the Wild

Oh, I'm headed out on an adventure
To see if I can't lose my way
And stumble upon all the splendorous things
The gods hid about when they made
Oh, the Earth out of water and iron
Ebony, ivory, and bone
Stone-cold these beauties are sleeping
You know they hate sleeping alone

So I'm running into the wild
Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm tired of all the conjecture
Dreaming and scheming and goals
All that it creates is pressure
And all that it makes us is old
Oh, I want to take stories with meaning
From the tales that my life's taught to me
Dress them in something revealing
And put them in songs that I sing

So I'm running into the wild
Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm headed out on an adventure
Where I'll end up, I don't know
I'm off in search of those treasures
That aren't made of silver or gold
I mean glaciers and gardens and grottos
The sound of the wind through the sage
The hush of a harbor so hollow
The roar of a crowd center stage

So I'm running into the wild
Oh, I'm running
