(Verse) The waves came down but the world never wanted Hearts press on anyway and until Where there's smoke there's fire, faith has charm But faith can destroy By and by all the threads are sown Dark clouds make their presence known Stand by the fire and just hope that it doesn't burn out (Chorus) When the world is not what it seems On the outside looking in on a dream Don't let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still When the world around caves in Lights will shine, let your life begins Don't let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still (Verse) No matter what you set out to find This competition down the line The crime of one might be the salt of the earth tonight Makes no difference what others say and do The path goes on showing the way for you The sign says redemption ahead Move straight on through (Chorus) When the world is not what it seems On the outside looking in on a dream Don't let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still When the world around caves in Lights will shine, let your life begins Don't let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still Don't let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still
