lyrics

All in the game, we just play at different levels
We're all in hell, we just battle different devils
Don't get caught up in their problems, cause their words can be deceiving
Figure it out just by praying to a god you don't...

Believe in the moment, good things may not last
So just live in the present, don't linger in the past

You were once wild, don't let them change you
You were once free, don't let them chain you
You were once wild, don't let them tame you
You were once free, don't let them claim you
You were once wild!

We don't stop, don't stop playing 'cause we grow old
We grow old, we stop playing, fall in line, do what we're told
Stand your ground, don't change your mind just like the weather changes seasons
Break the rules, like an artist paints a picture they...

Believe in the moment, good things may not last
So just live in the present, don't linger in the past

You were once wild, don't let them change you
You were once free, don't let them chain you
You were once wild, don't let them tame you
You were once free, don't let them claim you
You were once wild!

I see into your eyes, they don't tell me what I need
'Cause your body is a language that I can't seem to read
Completely different strangers, that's what we seem to be
But somehow, put together, you're the better part of me

You were once wild, don't let them change you
You were once free, don't let them chain you
You were once wild, don't let them tame you
You were once free, don't let them claim you
You were once wild!

Don't let them change you, or contain you
You're a diamond, they can't break you
