[00:00.00]The Wilderness - Colin Smith
[00:00.48]Daydreaming
[00:04.04]Picturing world peace
[00:07.23]And a time when mercy
[00:10.79]Is on everyone's mind.
[00:14.88]Sad feelings
[00:18.57]And notions of bad luck
[00:22.25]Have darkened my outlook
[00:24.63]And stolen my time.
[00:29.67]Believe I know, I know its true
[00:33.11]We're a step from the animals
[00:36.99]And conscience has not got much to do
[00:40.61]With the need to survive.
[00:44.55]But dont let that break your heart
[00:48.05]or poison your innocence
[00:51.73]When nature wont take your part
[00:55.39]And doesnt any sense.
[00:59.14]Cause this is the wilderness
[01:02.52]Where birds steal from others nest
[01:06.02]With no thought for its viciousness
[01:09.76]No comfort at all.
[01:14.14]This is the wilderness
[01:17.33]And I could have you killed I guess
[01:21.26]And make me like all the rest
[01:24.95]A slave to it all.
[01:29.27]I ponder, the fate of the archer
[01:36.02]Who strikes down God's creatures
[01:39.76]Without any need.
[01:43.81]Will the forest
[01:47.22]Gather together
[01:50.47]And rise up in anger,
[01:53.16]Thats insane, they're just trees.
[01:58.25]Kids grow up so damn fast today
[02:01.43]While most men are children.
[02:05.68]And ever more rare becomes the case of grace in a woman.
[02:13.01]But dont let that break your heart
[02:16.70]or rotten your innocence
[02:20.38]When nature wont take your part
[02:24.01]And doesnt any sense.
[02:27.76]Cause This is the wilderness
[02:31.07]Where birds steal from others nest
[02:34.75]With no thought for its viciousness
[02:38.58]No comfort at all.
[02:42.08]Yeah, this is the wilderness
[02:45.89]And I could have you killed I guess
[02:49.58]And make me like all the rest
[02:53.52]A slave to it all.
[03:16.15]Daydreaming
[03:19.77]Picturing world peace
[03:23.21]And a time when mercy is on everyone's mind
[03:30.52]Cause this is the wilderness

[03:37.46]With no thought for its viciousness
[03:41.40]No comfort at all.
[03:44.34]Yeah, this is the wilderness
[03:48.65]And I could have you killed I guess
