Wild

from The Hippie by Ari Lesser

lyrics

I’ve had a dream ever since I was a child
That I could eat, run, sleep, breath and live in the wild
You know everyday I’d wake up at the crack of dawn
Rub my eyes, stretch my limbs, raise my head with a yawn

Build myself a fire and begin to forage
Like I do for every meal cause I don’t put shit in storage
Free of possessions I don’t own any stuff
I eat when I’m hungry, there’s always enough

Moving from place to place, always on the roam
I don’t own any land, the whole forest is my home
When it rains I get wet, when its sunny I’m dry
And I never get upset about what comes from the sky

Living in the woods makes me strong and wise
Improves my hearing and sharpens my eyes
My life is simplistic, it’s animalistic
Going with the flow and always staying optimistic

I don’t wear no deodorant, I smell kind of funky
But I run like wolf and I climb like a monkey
Jump like a rabbit swim like a fish
I don’t have a schedule so I do what I wish

Skip stones across the river to pass away the time
No need to worry about hate, greed, or crime
There’s no violence, poverty, murder, or war
And everyone is equal there’s no rich and no poor

No painful politics, racist religion
Ignorant radio, or dumb television
Moronic magazines, no bigoted books
No cutthroat, capitalistic, crack smoking, crooks

No lying lawyers, or unjust judges
Inflated prices, or unbalanced budgets
Cell phones with flashy, fucking useless, features
No red-neck, bible-thumping, prejudice, preachers

Everything is peaceful and everyone’s in love
I pay my respects to the sun up above
As well as mother earth right below my feet
Just grateful to be blessed with this life so sweet

And when the time is right, I’ll find myself a mate
Together we’ll see what kind of life we can create
I want sons and daughters, I’ll father many a child
And teach them all the secrets of surviving in the wild

Keep your body, your mind, and your spirit strong
Always do what is right, never do someone wrong
It’s not about winning it’s about having fun
And be kind to all creatures cause they’re part of the One

And when I’ve passed to my children all the knowledge that I knew
And I’m old, and tired, and my time here is through
I’ll die and decompose and return to the earth
Continuing the cycle of death and rebirth
