[verse 1]
The wilderness will wait
Said I'd be back again
While I seek the crowds
While I'm on the stage

In life there is a time
For everything
And there with open arms
The wilderness will wait

[verse 2]
Wait for my return
While my oats are being sowed
In the city lights
In the arms of boys and girls

Youth it is a time
For the exterior
But in the hollow of a tree
The forest waits for me

[verse 3]
Wherever I may roam
Berlin, Paris or Stockholm
A piece of forest comes with me

And watches silently
All my little wins
And great disappointments
Together it reassures
That soon we will return
