I'M A WILD ONE NOW

(by Sage (Kathleen) Stanzler,
except 3rd verse by Sandy Birch & Kai Thomson)


Let the sun shine down and warm my bones
Let the birds and the bees come and take my clothes
'cause I'm a wild one now made of wind and rain
  I'm wild and I ain't going back again

Let the moon shine down and cleanse my soul
Let the wolves and the owls come and tend my coals
'cause I'm a wild one now made of stars and dreams
  I'm wild and I'm part of everything

Let the river rise up and wash my skin
Let the otter and the gator become my kin
'cause I'm a wild one now made of soot and grit
  I'm wild and I know I won't ever forget
  
Let the stars shine down and heal my heart
Let the beaver and the bear teach me of their art
'cause I'm a wild one now made of fat and fish
  The tending of the wild is my greatest wish
  The spreading of the wild is my greatest wish
  The healing of the wild is my greatest wish
