Here I lay in a hospital bed
the doctors say im looking good
And that my heart's not gonna stop beating
tho sometimes I wish that it would

Like that time that I missed the greyhound
And I had to sleep in the rain
Thats the night that I nearly froze to death
And had to hop the morning train

This life I live has taken this child
where I should have never gone
But I heard my name upon the wind
The call of the wild
has been calling me all along

Remember that time by the river
They all said that I should have drown
I got pulled under and when I came too
I found myself on hallowed ground

This life I live has taken this child
Where I should have never gone
But I heard my name upon the wind
The call of the wild
Has been calling me all along

So once again I have found myself
my guardian angels at my side
Seems they came swooping down from up abovr
so id have another day to die

This life I live has taken this child
Where I should have never gonr
But I heard my name upon the wind
The call of the wild
Has been calling me all along
The call of the wild
Has been calling me all along
