Born in the time of the changes
Where are you going
How will you fly
Is it for love of freedom all your days have been
Waiting for life to catch you
Watching and waiting and seeking a sign
In the wilderness

Each of us learns while we're sleeping
Sleeping we know
Waking a ghost
Passionate dream of heaven
Hold you close again
Only the Queen of heaven
Watches us grow, hearing his cry
Wanting and searching and losing our way
In the mire
In the wilderness

Wilderness child, you've got to hold on
Wilderness child, you've got to find your way home
Wilderness child, you've got to be strong
Wilderness wilderness wilderness child

Wilderness child
Let me see you
Stand in the light
Make me whole again
And if you can then show me
Approach me if you dare
Love is an open secret
Healing and hiding and wondering and weeping
Waiting for someone to find and open the door
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
