Call Of The Wild

Written by Ian Bairnson

Well I've talked to the wind and I've listened to rain

I have climbed to the clouds and I've cried out with pain

This life is for living so come to my side

And open your heart … to the call of the wild


We are all of one nation, all of one creed

We are all out of nature, all of one seed

We are in this together, man, woman and child

So open your heart to the call of the wild


We talk the same language in different tongues

We're somebody's daughters and somebody's sons

But those who believe we are head of the chain

May wake up to find we are all that remain


There is no need to fear what we don't understand

For we breathe the same air and we walk the same land

The strong and the anxious, the meek and the mild

All dance to the drum… that's the call of the wild
