WILDCHILD

You were young enough to think I was invincible

And brave enough to think that you were too

You were on the rooftop singing all your favorite songs

And making up the words, and I was so amazed by you

Oh, my

Wildchild

You were born to hit the ground running

I haven′t seen you in a while

But I always saw this coming

Don't let a cruel world take your light away

Just promise me you′re gonna stay

Wild, child, whoa

Wildchild

You were learning how to skate in empty swimming pools

And laughing 'til the neighbors called the cops

You were always getting up to something

Never change that tune you're humming

Everybody knew that song, they just grew up and forgot

Wildchild

You were born to hit the ground running

I haven′t seen you in a while

But I always saw this coming

Don′t let a cruel world take your light away

Just promise me you're gonna stay

Wild, child

Say you′re gonna stay young

(Don't let ′em steal your peace)

Say you're gonna stay free

(Don′t let 'em steal your peace)

Looking at you, looking at me

Say you're always gonna be

My wild, wild, wildchild

Are you having fun, Alex?

He′s a tough kid

You′re a tough kid, you know that?
