I Saw You in the Wild

I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I knew you in the wild

You were nervous, you were furious
You were very sure-footed
With dreams and intentions
Full of wonder and amazement
With a fire in your eyes
You were in your disguise
You were haunted you were hollow
You could not see tomorrow

In the wild
I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I knew you in the wild

In the books, in the trees
You were spreading your unease
And the hats all went off to you
They were trying to show respect to you
It was riddled with worry
We were all in a hurry
It was crystallized in lesser things
There was a fear in it and all it brings

In the wild
I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I knew you in the wild

And holding onto high ideals
And living incongruously
You were there among the leaves
And your needs were directing you
And the wilderness, it spoke to you
Though it threatened to choke you
You were always aware
You could sense that I was there

In the wild
I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I knew you in the wild

I could tell by your look
That you came from the book
And I read many times
All your glorious lines
In the branches with the sages
I turned all your pages
We were two sets of eyes
With two fires burning behind

In the wild
I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I knew you in the wild
