The deer turned and stared
The sound of shoes and paws
Triggered a response
Its instinct made it pause
We live outside the wild
We live outside the wild
The land that we inhabit
Is merely on loan
The wild will reclaim it
And everything we've sewn
The border of our land
A boundary between
The present and the past
The tame and the extreme
We live outside the wild
We live outside the wild
The land that we inhabit
Is merely on loan
The wild will reclaim it
And everything we've sewn
On the coldest winter nights
I see the panes of glass
I thank the ones with vision
They accepted their mission
The land that we inhabit
Is merely on loan
The wild will reclaim it
And everything we've sewn
We live outside the wild
We live outside the wild
