Kiss the Wilderness Goodbye
Kiss the wilderness goodbye
Welcome to this captured life
Stretch your wings and smell the air
You're not going anywhere
Did you think that you had landed
Did you think your day had come
Did they catch you out red-handed
Stepping out into the sun
So you thought your trials were done
See they've only just begun
Lose the sparkle from your eyes
Let sleeping dreams of freedom lie
You gave away your angels share
Now you're not going anywhere
When you made your harmless bargain
Did you really read the deal
When your heart began to harden
When your fate was signed and sealed
Did you know how it would feel
Did you know that it was real
Loose the urge to fight or fly
Let laden hopes of leaving die
You made a home inside your fear
Now is it hope or fear that keeps you here
Why don't you tell your heart to stop longing
Why don't you tell yourself to stop wanting
Might as well try telling the world to stop turning
The stars to stop burning
Just curb this age-old yearning
Do do doooooo
Sell your soul
Do do doooooo
Comes and goes
Kiss the wilderness goodbye
Welcome to this captured life
Lose the urge to flight or fly
Let laden hopes of leaving die
Do do doooooo
Comes and goes
Oh what a tangled web we weave
When we first stooped to self-deceive
Cruelness has got you in its snare
But maybe now this song will keep you there
Do do doooooo
It's over now
Kiss the wilderness goodbye
Welcome to this captured life
Stretch your wings and smell the air
You're not going anywhere
Welcome to this captured life
Stretch your wings and smell the air
You're not going anywhere
Did you think that you had landed
Did you think your day had come
Did they catch you out red-handed
Stepping out into the sun
So you thought your trials were done
See they've only just begun
Lose the sparkle from your eyes
Let sleeping dreams of freedom lie
You gave away your angels share
Now you're not going anywhere
When you made your harmless bargain
Did you really read the deal
When your heart began to harden
When your fate was signed and sealed
Did you know how it would feel
Did you know that it was real
Loose the urge to fight or fly
Let laden hopes of leaving die
You made a home inside your fear
Now is it hope or fear that keeps you here
Why don't you tell your heart to stop longing
Why don't you tell yourself to stop wanting
Might as well try telling the world to stop turning
The stars to stop burning
Just curb this age-old yearning
Do do doooooo
Sell your soul
Do do doooooo
Comes and goes
Kiss the wilderness goodbye
Welcome to this captured life
Lose the urge to flight or fly
Let laden hopes of leaving die
Do do doooooo
Comes and goes
Oh what a tangled web we weave
When we first stooped to self-deceive
Cruelness has got you in its snare
But maybe now this song will keep you there
Do do doooooo
It's over now
Kiss the wilderness goodbye
Welcome to this captured life
Stretch your wings and smell the air
You're not going anywhere
