[extended new intro instrumental] [Verse 1] At dawn the pond turns blue A heron folds its wings The mulberry tree leans low And the whole yard starts to sing Ant trails on the stone Carry crumbs like freight Even the cracked old fence Looks new in the haze [Pre-Chorus] Listen close The world won’t rush It keeps its own time In wind and hush Every leaf Has a little spark Calling your name Out of the dark [Chorus] Oh, what a world What a wild, wild world (wild world) Stone by stone It keeps us held Oh, what a world What a wild, wild world (wild world) Look around And you can tell [Verse 2] Rain drums on the roof Then slides to the creek Frog eyes on a lily pad Blink once and sleep The mountain wears fog Like a borrowed shawl And the fox in the ferns Knows the path by heart [Pre-Chorus] Listen close The world won’t rush It keeps its own time In wind and hush Every seed Pushes through the dark Not loud at first But it leaves a mark [Chorus] Oh, what a world What a wild, wild world (wild world) Stone by stone It keeps us held Oh, what a world What a wild, wild world (wild world) Look around And you can tell [Bridge] Midnight tides on the shore Silver on the black The moon pulls open the tide pools Then gives them back And I stand small In the salt and foam Saying thank you To this borrowed home [Final Chorus] Oh, what a world What a wild, wild world (wild world) Stone by stone It keeps us held Oh, what a world What a wild, wild world (wild world) Look around And you can tell [extended instrumental with atmosphere]
