The Wilderness - Colin Smith
Composed by:Colin Smith
Daydreaming
Picturing world peace
And a time when mercy
Is on everyone's mind
Sad feelings
And notions of bad luck
Have darkened my outlook
And stolen my time
Believe me I know I know it's true
We're a step from the animals
And conscience has not got much to do
With the need to survive
But don't let that break your heart
Or poison your innocence
When nature won't take your part
And doesn't make any sense
'Cause this is the wilderness
Where birds steal from other's nest
With no thought for it's viciousness
No comfort at all
This is the wilderness
And I could have you killed I guess
And make me like all the rest
A slave to it all
I ponder the fate of the archer
Who strikes down God's creatures
Without any need
Will the forest
Gather together
And rise up in anger
That's insane they're just trees
Kids grow up so d**n fast today
While most men are children
And ever more rare becomes the case of grace in a woman
But don't let that break your heart
Or rotten your innocence
When nature won't take your part
And doesn't make any sense
'Cause this is the wilderness
Where birds steal from others nest
With no thought for it's viciousness
No comfort at all
Yeah this is the wilderness
And I could have you killed I guess
And make me like all the rest
A slave to it all oh ohh
Daydreaming

Where birds steal from others nest
With no thought for it's viciousness
No comfort at all
Yeah this is the wilderness
And I could have you killed I guess
And make me like all the rest
A slave to it all
