Wilderness Within You Songtext
von Parker Millsap feat. Gillian Welch

There′s a wilderness within you,
There's a forest in your heart
There′s a wilderness within you,
And it's been there since the start

There's an oak tree tall and mighty,
There′s a sparrow small and frail
That old creek′s always winding,
Down a million rabbit trails

There's molehill like a mountain,
In the mountain there′s a cave
A brand new mama's shouting,
While the wolves haul off her babe

There′s a wilderness within you, a coral reef inside your soul
There's a wilderness within you, and it′s out of your control


There's hill that's ever rolling, there′s a sea that′s never still
There's a story still unfolding, and I wish it always will

There′s a field that's full of violets,
There′s a bruise that's purple brown
There′s a little bit of violence, and a lot of fertile ground

There's a prairie wide and open, there's a jungle deep and dense
A sunset for the hoping, and a busted down old fence

There′s a wilderness within you,
There′s an ocean in your mind
There's a wilderness within you,
There′s a whole lot left to find

There's a voice that whispers softly,
There′s a tongue that's telling lies
There′s the problem and the solving,
All tangled up inside

There's a wilderness within you, there's a seed inside your soul
There′s a wilderness within you, and it′s out of your control


It's out of your control
