"Wake Up"
Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little god's causin rain storms turnin' every good thing to rust.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin
With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am go-goin
You better look out below!

  • Am I the only person who knew this song before the movie?

  • @mipsymoodle well I heard the song like 5 or 4 years ago, I'm an Arcade Fire fan :)

    And trust me there's people out there who still don't know who is the contributed artist, and just know the song beacuse of the movie.

  • the actual original copies of the book were classic to read every night, used to have a little max doll i slept with, it takes a boy to grow into a man, and man to know the beauty of being a boy

  • What a wonderful tribute to all things Wild! Your video editing skills are top notch. I've written a story about the movie from Alexander's POV and hope fellow WTWTA fans will check it out: fanfictionnet (dot between the n's), click "movies" then "W" then "WTWTA" & look for "Alexander Ruminates" by Quod scripsi. Thanks!
