Song/Poem of the Day — Call Of The Wild

Call Of The Wild

It was all I could do Answer the call of the wild I was off in a flash and never returned I yearned for air in my lung I yearned for life in my body The call of the wild is all I could hear

I ventured to all parts of the world I sought great feats, and conquered them all I reached for the stars and touched every one The call of the wild fuelled my soul I claimed my own life What a life I lived

Day after day I listened for the call of the wild Call of the wild is all I wanted Call of the wild captured my essence I was all I could be I was me, so wild and free My soul at peace

I’m wrinkled and grey now I still listen for the call of the wild I still yearn for air in my lungs, and life in my body The call of the wild is still all I can hear Every day is a new beginning I’m still me, wild and free

They say I don’t have much longer How silly they are I’m listening for the call of the wild My journey never ends, only fools believe this is so Call of the wild, touched my life, my world Call of the wild, I am always what I want to be
