Wilderness Within You

(album: Wilderness Within You - 2023)

There's a wilderness within you, there's a forest in your heart
There's a wilderness within you, and it's been there since the start

There's an oak tree tall and mighty, there's a sparrow small and frail
That old creek's always winding, down a million rabbit trails

There's molehill like a mountain, in the mountain there's a cave
A brand-new mama's shouting, while the wolves haul off her babe

There's a wilderness within you, a coral reef inside your soul
There's a wilderness within you, and it's out of your control

There's hill that's ever rolling, there's a sea that's never still
There's a story still unfolding, and I wish it always will

There's a field that's full of violets, there's a bruise that's purple brown
There's a little bit of violence, and a lot of fertile ground

There's a prairie wide and open, there's a jungle deep and dense
A sunset for the hoping, and a busted down old fence

There's a wilderness within you, there's an ocean in your mind
There's a wilderness within you, there's a whole lot left to find

There's a voice that whispers softly, there's a tongue that's telling lies
There's the problem and the solving, all tangled up inside

There's a wilderness within you, there's a seed inside your soul
There's a wilderness within you, and it's out of your control

It's out of your control
