Beautiful & Wild

I don't want to be a poet, 'cause poets drown in lakes
 And I don't wanna be a sinner and watch the devil dance at my wake
 And I just want to be a dreamer, a dreamer who's wide awake
 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, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 I don't want to be president, 'cause I don't know which side to take
 And I don't want to be a fortune teller, 'cause that'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, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 We've got the same desires, burning fires
 And 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, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 So listen la, la, la, la, la, la, la
 So listen la, la, la, la, la, la, la
