[Verse 1]
Prairies bathing in the sun
Buffaloes are on the run
Haunted by the acid rain
How come we don't see their pain?
And I am asking myself why
We let our precious cradle cry
Oil on feathers and paws
We kill by concrete and by laws
[Chorus 1]
Come on let’s wake up and take action
Listen to the First Nation
Listen to our ancestors' song
Listen to Nature
Remember nothing can ever go wrong
If we all just stop being blind
We'll be safe as long as we stay wild
[Verse 2]
Far out in the open fields
Butterflies and honeybees, floatin’
Spreading love across lands
Endangered by our selfish hands
[Chorus 2]
Come on let's wake up and take action
Listen to the First Nation
Listen to our ancestors' song
Listen to Nature
Remember nothing can ever go wrong
If we all just stop being blind
We'll be safe as long as we stay wild
[Bridge: Lisa Schettner and Ed Sadler]
There's hope if you believe it
Have faith in nature healin'
There's hope if you believe in
Something deeper
Give back the lives we're stealin’
With all our hearts and feelings
There’s hope if you believe in
Something bigger
[Verse 3]
Prairies bathing in the sun
Buffaloes are on the run
The last of bees are fading
We'll be done
[Chorus 3]
Unless we learn a lesson
From the First Nation
Listen to our ancestors’ song
Listen to Nature
Remember nothing can ever go wrong
If we all stop and look at the signs
We'll be safe as long as we stay
[Outro]
Wild, ah-ah-ah (don't give up)
As long as we stay wild, ah-ah-ah (don't give up)
As long as we stay wild, ah-ah-ah (don’t give up)
As long as we learn how to see
And how to become again
Wild
