I wiped the blood off your face With the snow And we struggled our way back Through the cold Into the dark Into the wild With little hope Left in your eyes Drained by our dreams Of a fuller life You lacked determination To walk through the night So we boiled our medicine Over a fire And my advice It was to make something out of what it's worth Make something out of what it's worth Make something out of Make something out of Make something out of what it's worth You confused being a pioneer With hard times In the end, what's more important? To have toiled? To have tried? I'll let you decide It's the curse that you'll carry on your face Mapped by time Calloused fingers And a toothless smile You look like you were born Into the wild You were born Into the wild At the first house ahead You said, 'I will not be framed by last night' Only a coward lines his windows With a lie Just leave me here And let me lie Arm in arm We struggled on into town But the troubled looks From the pa**ers-by Made us hang our heads down And bow our eyes And leave our mercy to the wild Only to make something out of what it's worth Make something out of what it's worth Make something out of I make something out of Make something out of what it's worth
