Of Wilderness

If you’re wanting me to sort this out
Then, honey, I will let you down
I know you want to think it’s all worked out
But there are places you don’t talk about
And there are things you really need to see
Beyond the order of the city streets
Out on the edges where the shadows lift
Something’s moving in the wilderness
All of your bricks didn’t build it
None of your doubts ever break it
So you can talk, talk all you want
I think we’re all lost till we’ve walked in the wilderness
You know the prophets and the madmen both
Hear a voice and call the desert home
They swear it’s gospel but you’ll never know
It’s only gossip till you go
And I’ve noticed how your garden grows
All the sweat you spend to keep it in such perfect rows
Did you miss the beauty blooming in the wild groves
All of your bricks didn’t build it
None of your doubts ever break it
So you can talk, talk all you want
I think we’re all lost till we’ve walked in the wilderness
I’ve noticed how your garden grows
All laid out in perfect rows
I noticed how your garden grows
All of your bricks didn’t build it
None of your doubts ever break it
So you can bow down all you want
If no one speaks back are you sure someone’s listening
If you got quiet for a moment
And finally put your faith where your mouth is
What are you afraid you will hear
I think we’re all lost till we’ve lived in the wilderness
Till we’ve lived in the wilderness
Till we’re living in the wilderness
If you’re wanting me to sort this out
Then, honey, I will let you down
