Wild & Free- Mother wild and free, father wild and free. God made me wild and free. Sacred rivers wild and free, tall trees rooted wild and free. Flora blooming wild and free, fauna roaming wild and free. God made me wild and free. How long will you defend unscrupulous men. Loud mouthed know it alls, cheaters and schemers and liars and haters. You so called great nations divided by greed. Claim all of creation as your panoply. Little sisters wild and free, little brothers wild and free. God made thee wild and free. Oceans churning wild and free, great plains longing wild and free. Mountains rising wild and free, valleys bowing wild and free. Sunlight blazing wild and free, good earth whirling wild and free Heaven reaching wild and free, the endless cosmos wild and free. All creation wild and free, in Gods image wild and free. God made thee wild and free.
