Brandi Carlile

Wilder (We're Chained)

You came into this world with eyes as clear as water

You didn't look a thing like your grandmother's daughter

With a heart so heavy and beating like a drum

Yeah, neither did you look like your grandfather's son

We're chained, and when everything changes our love will stay the same

We're chained, and when everything else goes away, our love will still remain

We're chained

Wilder than a brushfire burns deep inside the bramble

Baby, I think God made your soul born to ramble

Maybe you'll take to the far away places

Where life is gonna deal you a hand full of aces

But it doesn't really matter how great the spaces

We're chained, and when everything else changes our love will stay the same

We're chained, and when everything else goes away our love will still remain

We're chained

Life has a fuse and it burns with quickness

But death ain't the long twisted branch of sickness

Just as the spark gives birth to a flame

We'll be bound by our love and then the family name

We're chained, and when everything else changes our love will stay the same

We're chained, and when everything else goes away our love will still remain

We're chained
