[Verse 1] I was born in the noise, raised in the rain, half alive in the wires, half numb from the strain. Then the roots came up, cracked my chest wide, pulled me back down to the living side. Hands in the dirt, Rest in the leaves, the old world calling something back in me. [Pre-Chorus] When the world gets mean, I go back to green. When I lose my way, I let the wild things lead. [Chorus] Green heals with wonder, black dirt on my knees and hands. The roots pull me under, then teach me how to stand. I may fall, but I grow. I may break, but then I breathe. Breathe and let go, and let the wild things grow. [Verse 2] Trees don’t beg, they bend and rise, split by the storm, still reaching for light. I’ve been cut back, I’ve been scarred, but sap still climbs through a broken heart. Every seed fights, every weed knows war, every bloom kicks open one more door. [Pre-Chorus] When the world gets mean, I go back to green. When I lose my way, I let the wild things lead. [Chorus] Green heals with wonder, black dirt on my knees and hands. The roots pull me under, then teach me how to stand. I may fall, but I grow. I may break, but then I breathe. Breathe and let go, and let the wild things grow. [Bridge] Feed the root. Bless the rain. Drink the sun. Clear the pain. Cut me down, I grow again. Cut me down, I grow again. [Final Chorus] Green heals with wonder, black dirt on my knees and hands. The roots pull me under, then teach me how to stand. I may fall, but I grow. I may break, but then I breathe. Breathe and let go, and let the wild things grow. [Outro] Back to the garden, back to the ground, back to the body where God can be found.
