Oysterband
The Wilderness
[Verse 1]
We set out in sunlight
High day and holiday
Light hearts and the wrong shoes
Little bells to keep the bears away

[Verse 2]
Up above the tree-line
Under a racing sun
We stared up at the ice-wall
Down at the long miles we had come

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a spring to cup your mouth to
Where the juniper lies low
The water brings a message
Ice-cold and slow

[Chorus]
Can you tell me who you are? (Tell me who you are)
Can you tell me who you are? (Tell me who you are)
Now you're standing face to face with the wilderness
You're not the master here
You're not the master here
You're not the master here
[Verse 3]
Ice reigns forever
How high the glittering crown
We shiver in the sunlight
Glad to think it's faster going down

[Pre-Chorus]
So we wrap ourselves in stories
Good friends and beer
Tonight we feel like winners
Tonight we feel no fear

[Chorus]
Can you tell me who you are? (Tell me who you are)
Can you tell me who you are? (Tell me who you are)
Now you're standing face to face with the wilderness
You're not the master here
You're not the master here
You're not the master here
You're not the master here
You're not the master here
You're not the master here
