Beautiful & Wild

I don't want to be a poet, 'cause poets drown in lakes
And I don't wanna be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake
And I just want to be a dreamer, a dreamer who's wide awake
I just want to be a lover even if my heart has to break

If only we can see the world through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl, it just ain't beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
So listen la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

I don't want to be president, 'cause I don't know which side to take
And I don't want to be a fortune teller, 'cause that's just tempting faith
And I just want to be a drop of water fall down in a storm of rain
Living life in the deep blue sea and rise back up again

If only we can see the world through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl, it just ain't beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
So listen la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

We've got the same desires, burning fires
And middle of my songs
But I'm your golden silver, won't last forever
So won't you let it go
'Cause we were born to be dreamers, dreamers wide awake
We were born to be lovers even if hearts have to break

If only we can see the world through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl, it just ain't beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try
So listen la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

So listen la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So listen la, la, la, la, la, la, la
