Wildebeests 03:39
I'll run upon I'll run upon dangerous, dangerous fires My feet get burned my feet get burned I'll run through I'll run through Dangerous, dangerous rivers My feet get cold, my feet get cold I do not mind as my feet's soles are old How to be safe How to be safe How to be safe In our age If nothing matters anyway I'll run with I''l run with Wildebeests on migration My feet get trodden on and on I do not mind as my feet's soles are strong How to be safe How to be safe How to be safe In our age If nothing matters anyway

Too much haze to see Whats happening around You've got your feet in the clouds and everything's upside down Too much weight on your back For you to get anywhere alone you need a friend to help carry you home Give me your worries Give me your worries child And I will wrap them up and carry them for a while And you will keep talking as we keep walking through With a space in my bag for your worries and blues All too fast to find Where the answers lie give me your hand and I will help you by I will pull you through and hold so tightly to you With a space in my bag for your worries and blues And I would swim with killer whales I would swim with killer whales for you And I wouldn't be afraid I'd be brave and I would take on two. When you head feels full and you mind is gone And nothing else feels right everything feels wrong You can't remember your last good nights sleep Everybody's being so hard to please I will keep you up when you heart feels down I will keep you up when your head falls down I will be around, I will be around I will be around, I will be around

Once 02:55
I once was a shepherd and I let my flock run away It felt like my heart had gone astray But the cold of the wind and the rain It beckoned me on again I once was a sailor and I let my ship sink the sea It felt like I had no anchor beneath me But the cold of the wind and the rain It beckoned me on again It beckoned me on again How do we know what it cost If we lose all we own and don't get lost How do we know what it cost If we lose all we own and don't get lost I once was a solider and I let my head hit the ground It felt like I'd let everybody down But the cold of the wind and the rain It beckoned me on again It beckoned me on again How do we know what it cost If we lose all we own and don't get lost How do we know what it cost If we lose all we own and don't get lost

Outside 03:23
Settle down little one Now there is your time to come To decide where to spend your life Once was lost but now you're found Amazing grace has shot you down To the earth, to find your worth Sometimes its hard to be the only one I'll try to be brave but its not easily done To stand outside So much space fills your heart Amazing grace has blown apart Two different sides, your heart and your mind. Settle down little one Do not war yourself undone Your love will stay, whether you're here or whether away Sometimes its hard to be the only one I'll try to be brave but its not easily done To stand outside

In the wild I will wear no shoes I will grow my hair too long never have to choose I will leave behind my woes I'll leave behind my blues I'll lie on my back with nothing left to lose In the wild I will never need Anything that I own I am happy to leave I will walk around with no strings attached Thick soles on my feet doesn't matter if they're scratched I will sleep on the ground beneath open skies I'll just let the time roll by roll by roll by I'll be free In the wild I will run around I will try my cartwheels out get my muscles unwound I will climb the highest tree so I can jump down I'll breath in the breeze as I fall to the ground I will not waste time thinking if I could I will just enjoy all this wonderful wonderful wood. I'll be free

Hiding, hiding your toys Fighting, fighting with noise Confused solider boys Confused solider boys Don't break your voices On sharp tooth choices Bold, bold as a bear Too young, too young to know where Keep your feet together and don't look down Keep your feet together and don't look down Keep your feet together and we'll all go to higher ground
