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 that out in the world 

There are arms to hold you 

You've always known 

Your heart was on it's own 



So laugh in your loneliness 

Child of the wilderness 

Learn to be lonely 

Learn to love life that is lived alone 



Learn to be lonely 

Learn to be your one companion 

Never dreamed that out in the world 

There are arms to hold you 

You've always known 

Your heart was on it's own 



So laugh in your loneliness 

Child of the wilderness 

Learn to be lonely 

Learn how to love life that is lived alone
