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 in my wakeI just wanna be a dreamer
A dreamer that's wide awake
I just wanna be a lover
Even if my heart has to breakIf 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 la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la laI 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 fateI just wanna be a drop of water
And fall down in a storm of rain
Live a life in the deep blue sea
And rise back up againIf 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 la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la laWe've got the same desires, burning fires in
The middle of our soul
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
We were born to be lovers
Even if our hearts have to breakIf 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 la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la laSo let's sing la la la la la la la la la
So let's sing la la la la la la la la la
