Lyrics
Alright!

Wild child full of grace, savior of the human race
Your cool face

Natural child, terrible child
Not your mother’s or your father’s child
You’re our child, screamin’ wild

With hunger at her heels, freedom in her eyes
She dances on her knees, pirate prince at her side
Starin’ into the hollow idol’s eyes

Wild child full of grace, savior of the human race
Your cool face, your cool face, your cool face
Do you remember when we were in Africa?

Believe (Live)

  By

Bonus Track  By  Animal Society

Written by Ric Albano Song Length: 4:04
Listen to the Song:
[audio:AS/AS-Believe.mp3]		 2009
Lyrics
So what’s the point of quiet charity if it won’t get you the gig?
They don’t forgive irregularities just because your heart is big
And why leave home with an atlas stone when a flask of pebbles might do?
This quite excessive sense of diligence
Offends my reasoned confidence in you

I do my best to view the world from deep behind these eyes
I draw my energy from sources not simply surmised

But what’s the point of simple clarity in such a complex universe?
Should we not strive towards more parity,
By ripping out the contents of your purse?

I steer my ship by ancient stars and hold the wind with poise
I grasp at every passing wave in a quest to find pure joys

Believe, believe
Believe, believe

So what’s the point of quiet charity if you don’t bag some esteem?
Complied reduction of this narrowly sliced time just seems obscene
And who would roam with an atlas stone…
When there are so many sights to see?
What’s the point of true contention,
When the scientific evidence has been decreed?

I beat my path with head held high and wisdom at my heels
I don’t pretend to know that this is how we all should feel

Believe, believe
Believe, believe

In a pinch and you’re on the run, will ye come undone?
If it’s a cinch just to follow the sun,
Why then fear of this unusual one?

From The Beginning

Bonus Track  By  Animal Society

Written by Greg Lake Song Length: 4:37
Listen to the Song:
[audio:AS/AS-FromTheBeginning.mp3]		 2009
Lyrics
There might have been things I missed
But don’t be unkind, it don’t mean I’m blind
Whatever was done is done, I just can’t recall
It doesn’t matter at all
But there it is

You see, it’s all clear you were meant to be here
From the beginning

Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel, not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done, I just can’t recall
It doesn’t matter at all

You see, it’s all clear you were meant to be here
From the beginning
