You fought your way into the folds
A wilderness you made your own
Where everything was a ride
And passed into a haze
When nobody wants you to stay
Darling you should be thankful
For all your time in the wild
Taught you how to swim
It's pretty late in the game
But now you see what it stood for
A nucleus to the last
And that will never change
When nobody wants you to stay
Darling you should be thankful
For all your time in the wild
Don't be sorry
No more entry to the woods alone
Walk away from where your leaves have grown
So you say I'll remember everything
And never will erase it from my mind
So darling you should be thankful
Darling you should be thankful
Wring the wilderness dry
Rein it in and then say goodbye
Getting blood from a stone
Never was the way
When nobody wants you to stay
Darling you should be thankful
For all your time in the wild
Don't be sorry
No more entry to the woods alone
Walk away from where your leaves have grown
So you say I'll remember everything
And never will erase it from my mind
Darling you should be thankful
You were in the wild
But now you're free to go
No lnger a child
Oh there's much more to know
Made it out alive
You are now free to go
Must have been a reason why you were there at all
Must have been a reason why you answered the call
Must be for a reason you are now free to go
Darling you should be so thankful thankful
Darling you should be so thankful thankful
Darling you should be so thankful
A wilderness you made your own
Where everything was a ride
And passed into a haze
When nobody wants you to stay
Darling you should be thankful
For all your time in the wild
Taught you how to swim
It's pretty late in the game
But now you see what it stood for
A nucleus to the last
And that will never change
When nobody wants you to stay
Darling you should be thankful
For all your time in the wild
Don't be sorry
No more entry to the woods alone
Walk away from where your leaves have grown
So you say I'll remember everything
And never will erase it from my mind
So darling you should be thankful
Darling you should be thankful
Wring the wilderness dry
Rein it in and then say goodbye
Getting blood from a stone
Never was the way
When nobody wants you to stay
Darling you should be thankful
For all your time in the wild
