we'll put on our masks and we'll walk into the flood
with our arms around each other, we'll keep our eyes wide shut
and we'll get up early and we'll get happy
and we'll make progress and we'll sleep soundly
and we'll live freely without ever getting old
beasts of the wild, eyes of a child
this world is all that you know
beasts of the wild, eyes of a child
this world is all that you know
you're living inside your maker's mind
heaven sends her love and she wraps it in a wire
that we'll plug into our brain so we never see the fire
but we're not nervous and we're not angry
and we won't worry and we won't care and we'll
get home to see that no one else is there
beasts of the wild, eyes of a child
this world is all that you know
beasts of the wild, eyes of a child
this world is all that you know
you're living inside your maker's mind
