Beautiful & Wild

Beautiful & Wild - Kris Allen

I don't want to be a poet

Cause poets drown in lakes

And I don't be a sinner

And watch the devil dance at my wake

I just want to be a dreamer;

A dreamer is wide awake

And I just want to be a lover

Even if my heart has to break

If only we can see the world

Through the new eyes of a child

If only every boy and girl

It just ain't beautiful and wild

And there's probably no saving us

But I wrote this song to try

So listen la la la la

I don't want to be president

Cause I don't know each side to take

And I don't want to be a fortune teller

Cause it's just tempting faith

And I just want to be a drop of water

Fall down in a storm of rain

Living life in the deep blue sea

And rise back up again

If only we can see the world

Through the new eyes of a child

If only every boy and girl

It just ain't beautiful and wild

And there's probably no saving us

But I wrote this song to try

So listen la la la la

We've got the same desires

Burning fires

And the middle of my songs

But I'm your golden silver

Won't last forever

So won't you let it go

Cause we were born to be dreamers

Dreamers wide awake

We were born to be lovers

Even if hearts have to break

If only we can see the world

Through the new eyes of a child

If only every boy and girl

It just ain't beautiful and wild

And there's probably no saving us

But I wrote this song to try

So listen la la la la

So listen la la la la

So listen la la la la
