Looking out my window I can see the world outside 
There are places on fire and people who run for their lives 
Even though it has been so for years and years 
I really hope that wisdom will come one day 
To blow my fears away 
Take me in your arms for a while I feel low, low and lonely inside 
Keep wild things away from my eyes I need love stay by my side 

There's a man on the radio who gives me the details of another war 
Where no one nowhere seems to know how to stop the hate 
That's gonna leave so many souls in pain 
That's gonna leave us with our shame 
Do we really need that ? Can't you hear me say ? 

Take me in your arms for a while I feel low, low and lonely inside 
Keep wild things away from my eyes I need love. Oh ! stay by my side 

I feel like a runaway who's looking for a place to stay for a day 
Where I could stop think about myself just for a little while 
'Cos when I can't handle this or can't handle that 
I'm even scared by my shadow at night 
I need your love I need your help 
Help me not to fall down on the ground 

Take me in your arms for a while 
I feel low, low and lonely inside 
Keep wild things away from my eyes I need love. Oh ! stay by my side
