Wild Child – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Ever close your eyes
Ever stop and listen
Ever feel alive
And you've nothing missing
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on
Let the rain fall down
Everywhere around you
Give into it now
Let the day surround you
You don't need a reason
Let the rain go on and on
...
What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way to make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child
Only take the time
From the helter skelter
Every day you find
Everything's in kilter
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on
Every summer sun
Every winter evening
Every spring to come
Every autumn leaving
You don't need a reason
Let it all go on and on
...
What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way to make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child
What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way to make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child
What a day
...
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way to make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
Da da da
Da da da da da da
What a way
What a way to make it through
Da da da
...
Da da da da da da
Da da da
Da da da da da da
What a way
What a way to make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child
...
