There's a wilderness within you
There's a forest in your heart
There's a wilderness within you
And it's been there since the start

There's an oak tree tall and mighty
There's a sparrow small and frail
That old creeks always winding
Down a million rabbit trails

There's a molehill like a mountain
In the mountain there's a cave
A brand new mama's shouting
While the wolves haul off her babe
There's a wilderness within you, a coral reef inside your soul
There's a wilderness within you, and it's out of your control

There's hill that's ever rolling, there's a sea that's never still
There's a story still unfolding, and I wish it always will
There's a field that's full of violets
There's a bruise that's purple brown

There's a little bit of violence, and a lot of fertile ground
There's a prairie wide and open
There's a jungle deep and dense
A sunset for the hoping, and a busted down old fence
There's a wilderness within you
There's an ocean in your mind
There's a wilderness within you
There's a whole lot left to find

There's a voice that whispers softly
There's a tongue that's telling lies
There's the problem and the solving
All tangled up inside

There's a wilderness within you, there's a seed inside your soul
There's a wilderness within you, and it's out of your control
It's out of your control
