Child of the wilderness 
Born into emptiness 
Learn to be lonely 
Learn to find your way in darkness

Who will be there for you 
Comfort and care for you 
Learn to be lonely 
Learn to be your one companion

Never dreamed out in the world 
There are arms to hold you 
You've always known
Your heart was on its own

So laugh in your loneliness 
Child of the wilderness 
Learn to be lonely 
Learn how to love life that is lived alone

Learn to be lonely 
Life can be lived, life can be loved alone
