My Father Raised Me Wild

from Rebel by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

He called me like a riot, like a whisper
Fed me on my freedom like a right
I am so much more than you can fit in these boxes
You see,
my Father raised me wild

All the world was meant to be our playground
Adventure like a mighty flame inside
We were never meant to be imprisoned by fear,
Oh no
My Father raised me wild

Life is something so much wilder,
freer than we’ve known
Right is something brighter
than the grey we’ve all been shown

I was meant to run just like the river
Chase the reckless wonder like a child
Relish in the bravery that’s born when you’re certain you’re loved
My Father raised me wild

We were made for more than fits
inside these narrow moulds
And to be a human’s so much
greater than we’re told

He calls us in the freedom of his Spirit
to vibrancy and colour that’s alive
We are so much more that they can fit in these boxes because
Our Father made us wild

My Father raised me wild!
