I don't need a hurricane blowing,
To tell me there's a storm around
I don't need no chain around my neck,
To tell me that I'm all tied down
All I needed was a little satisfaction,
To try to put me back on the track
All I get is a typical reaction
Tell me that there's no turning back
Wild is the River, wild & running free
Wild is the River, the River of no return
I don't need a telegram to tell me
I got the message long ago
I have seen the writing on the wall
Telling me it's time to go
I don't need it spelled out to the letter
To tell me that I'm on the wrong track
All I know is that a change is for the better
There'll never be no turning back
Wild is the River. Wild & running free
Wild is the River, the River of no return
I don't need a preacher here to show me
Or tell me where I'm going wrong
I don't need no money in my jeans
'Cus I know that I'll get along
All I know - a change is surely coming
Gonna turn your world around
Watching as the river is a flowing
Listen & you'll hear the sound
Wild is the River. Wild & running free
Wild is the River, the River of no return
