A Wild Wish

Into the wild I wish to go Where birds fly free and flowers grow To lose myself in state of mind That other folks will rarely find I want to find that special place Where not a man has turned his face I wish to sail the unseen waves Of wind rushing through wild caves To climb the mountains in all their height And once atop in the view delight To smell a rose and run with deer Out in the wild I'll have no fear Far away from any man The noise and bustle that rule the land When darkness falls I settle down And listen to the owl's wise sound I'll sleep beneath the watchful moon And stars that shine o'er silent dune When dawn springs forth and sun comes out Awake I'll rise with joyous shout Into the wild I wish to go In summer sun or winter snow To lose myself and then I'll find The part of me that once was blind
