The Wilderness

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 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 any sense.

Cause this is the wilderness
Where birds steal from other's nest
With no thought for its 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 damn 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 any sense.

Cause This is the wilderness
Where birds steal from others nest
With no thought for its 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.
