1) Now, when I was a babe just about knee high
How I loved all them worms and the butterflies
And I felt the need just to crawl thru the weeds
Talkin' to the critters, all the bugs and the bees
And Mom says to Dad, whats with this kid?
And Dad says, Mom, don't flip your lid,
It's just his style, he's a kid.... for the wild.
2) Yes, as I grew well I hit the woods
Cause walkin' out there made me feel so good
Just to be me , You know it felt so free,
I could wander here or there or go climb a tree,
And I watched the deer and I chased the rabbits
And the chipmunks too and I learned their habits,
Mom says to Dad, I'm afraid he's weird
Dad says to Mom, Oh I think it's clear
It's just his style, he's a kid.... for the wild.
3) I like things the way they are
Not inside cages or in plastic jars,
You know I like to see, things runnin' free
And I have the idea they were meant to be,
There's more to life than just T.V.
There's the rivers and the mountains and the clouds and 
me,

It's just my style, I'm a kid..... for the wild.
4) I like critters like grizzly bears,
Spotted owls and desert hares,
And I can't understand, the big money man,
Chase them from their homes and change the land,
They have a right to live for their own distinction,
Ain't no call for their extinction.
Just my style, I'm a kid ..... for the wild.
5) Yeh, I like places where there ain't no roads
You can listen to the cricketts and the hoppin' toads,
It's all right there, even in the air,
The wilderness is something so precious and rare,
You know, to throw it away it just don't seem fair,
Let's all get together really start to care.
Just my style, I'm a kid ..... for the wild.
6) I guess I'll always have this thirst
Clean water and air, you know the Earth comes first,
Let's save the seas, and the mountains and trees,
Let's keep it wild and keep it free,
And when your parents tell you go to bed
And they close the door, and they nod their heads,
They'll say,  It's just that style, we got a kid..... 
for the wild.
Yes, it's just that style, we got a kid.... for the 
wild.
Be a kid....for the wild! Be a kid....For The Wild!!
