When the Wild Sings(Blues) - Original text and vocals - Maya Love

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1: Rough male vocal, sparse guitar]
The wolf moves silent through the snow,
His breath rises like smoke.
He knows the trails, he knows the wind,
Every mountain road.
His cry rolls over frozen hills,
Through valleys cold and wide.
He wears his freedom on his back
And walks beneath the stars tonight.

[Chorus: Strong blues refrain with backing vocals]
When the wild sings, the night begins to shake,
When the lion roars, the dawn begins to wake.
Whether the eagle flies or the tiger starts to spring,
Listen close and hear the sound of everything.
Yes, when the wild sings,
When the wild sings,
You can feel the fire that the living brings.

[Verse 2: Rolling piano, deep bass]
The tiger moves through golden grass,
A shadow in the evening light.
Two burning eyes, so calm and clear,
He disappears from sight.
Beside the river, the old bear drinks,
His heavy coat shines black.
He knows the scent of coming rain
And every river’s track.

[Chorus: Stronger, with handclaps]
When the wild sings, the night begins to shake,
When the lion roars, the dawn begins to wake.
Whether the eagle flies or the tiger starts to spring,
Listen close and hear the sound of everything.
Yes, when the wild sings,
When the wild sings,
You can feel the fire that the living brings.

[Verse 3: Faster, stomping rhythm]
The eagle circles on the wind,
High above the land.
He sees the rivers, sees the dust,
Sees footprints in the sand.
The elephants move across the plains,
With scars from years gone by.
Inside their deep and ancient calls
Old memories never die.

[Bridge: Quiet break, almost spoken]
Deep in the jungle, when the rain comes down,
Every drop becomes a drum.
The monkeys call, the serpents glide,
The parrots greet the sun.
No leaf is still, no stone alone,
No heartbeat beats for free.
The earth keeps all her oldest secrets
In the roots of every tree.

[Instrumental: Harmonica solo followed by electric guitar response]

[Verse 4: Emotional vocal, slowly building]
But when the hands of man reach far,
The wild grows faint and still.
Where once the jungle thundered loud,
The wind now climbs the hill.
Protect the forest, guard the sea,
Let every river run.
For every creature on this earth
Carries a piece of everyone.

[Final Chorus: Powerful blues choir, anthemic]
When the wild sings, the night begins to shake,
When the lion roars, the dawn begins to wake.
Whether the eagle flies or the tiger starts to spring,
Listen close and hear the sound of everything.
Yes, when the wild sings,
When the wild sings,
Feel the ancient fire in everything.

When the wild sings, listen to the sound,
In the wolf’s lonely howl and the wings flying round.
As long as one wild heart still beats and rings,
The earth is alive,
And the wilderness sings.

[Outro: Guitar and harmonica fade slowly]
Oh, deep in the woods when the moon climbs high,
You can hear the earth breathe under the sky.

[Intro: Slow blues guitar, growling bass, distant howls] Oh, deep in the woods when the moon climbs high, You can hear the earth breathe under the sky. No man sets the rhythm, no king gives commands, The night plays its song across the land. [Verse 1: Rough male vocal, sparse guitar] The wolf moves silent through the snow, His breath rises like smoke. He knows the trails, he knows the wind, Every mountain road. His cry rolls over frozen hills, Through valleys cold and wide. He wears his freedom on his back And walks beneath the stars tonight. [Chorus: Strong blues refrain with backing vocals] When the wild sings, the night begins to shake, When the lion roars, the dawn begins to wake. Whether the eagle flies or the tiger starts to spring, Listen close and hear the sound of everything. Yes, when the wild sings, When the wild sings, You can feel the fire that the living brings. [Verse 2: Rolling piano, deep bass] The tiger moves through golden grass, A shadow in the evening light. Two burning eyes, so calm and clear, He disappears from sight. Beside the river, the old bear drinks, His heavy coat shines black. He knows the scent of coming rain And every river’s track. [Chorus: Stronger, with handclaps] When the wild sings, the night begins to shake, When the lion roars, the dawn begins to wake.
