Lyrics Beautiful & Wild - Kris Allen

Beautiful & Wild

I don’t wanna be a poet
Cause poets drown in lakes
And I don’t wanna be a sinner
And watch the devil dance at my wake
I just wanna be a dreamer
A dreamer that’s wide awake
I just wanna be a lover
Even if my heart has to break
If only we could see the world
Through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl
Could just stay beautiful and wild
And there’s probably no saving us
But I wrote this song to try
So let’s sing la la la…
I don’t wanna be president
Cause I don’t know which side to take
And I don’t wanna be a fortune teller
Cause that’s just tempting fate
I just wanna be a drop of water
Fall down in a storm of rain
Live a life in the deep blue sea
And rise back up again
If only we could see the world
Through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl
Could just stay beautiful and wild
And there’s probably no saving us
But I wrote this song to try
So let’s sing la la la…
We’ve got the same desires
Burning fires
In the middle of our souls
But all your gold and silver
Won’t last forever
So… won’t you let it go?
Cause we were born to be dreamers
Dreamers wide awake
And we were born to be lovers
Even if our hearts have to break
If only we could see the world
Through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl
Could just stay beautiful and wild
And there’s probably no saving us
But I wrote this song to try
So let’s sing la la la…
So let’s sing la la la…
So let’s sing la la la…
