Beautiful & Wild

I don't wanna be a poet

Cause poets drown in lakes

And I don't wanna be a sinner

And watch the devil dance at my wake

I just wanna be a dreamer

A dreamer that's wide awake

I just wanna be a lover

Even if my heart has to break

If only we could see the world

Through the new eyes of a child

If only every boy and girl

Could just stay beautiful and wild

And there's probably no saving us

But I wrote this song to try

So let's sing la la la...

I don't wanna be president

Cause I don't know which side to take

And I don't wanna be a fortune teller

Cause that's just tempting fate

I just wanna be a drop of water

Fall down in a storm of rain

Live a life in the deep blue sea

And rise back up again

If only we could see the world

Through the new eyes of a child

If only every boy and girl

Could just stay beautiful and wild

And there's probably no saving us

But I wrote this song to try

So let's sing la la la...

We've got the same desires,

Burning fires

In the middle of our souls

But all your gold and silver

Won't last forever

So... won't you let it go?

Cause we were born to be dreamers

Dreamers wide awake

And we were born to be lovers

Even if our hearts have to break

If only we could see the world

Through the new eyes of a child

If only every boy and girl

Could just stay beautiful and wild

And there's probably no saving us

But I wrote this song to try

So let's sing la la la...

So let's sing la la la...

So let's sing la la la...
