When the autumn wind starts singing
Blowing at the twilight hour
Then I feel the forces flowing through my soul
And I know the earth is spinning
As I tread the path I've made
And I search to find whatever makes me whole
'Cos there's something of the wild in all of us
The longing to be free
Something of the rain in all of us
That's flowing through your heart
Something in the wind that's calling us
To fly just like a bird ... flying free
There's a tree in the forest
Living in a secret glade
And it's lived a dozen lifetimes more than me
And I hope they never find it
And cut away its life
Let us teach our children just to let it be
(Chorus)
There's a tiger in the heart of us
We struggle to control
As we gaze upon its awesome symmetry
And the milk of human kindness
Is all it needs to live
And its quiet power all it wants to give
(Chorus)
