Child of the wilderness, born into emptiness

Learn to be lonely, learn to find your way in darkness

Who will be there for you, comfort and care for you



Learn to be lonely, learn to be your one companion



Never dreamed out in the world there are arms to hold you

You've always known your heart was on its own



So laugh in your loneliness, child of the wilderness

Learn to be lonely, learn how to love life that is lived alone



Learn to be lonely, life can be lived, life can be loved alone
