Run Wild

My favourite album of the moment is "Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong." by the amazing group, "For King and Country".  And the title track, "Run Wild" is on repeat these days wherever I go - definitely speaking loudly to me.  The power of music is undeniable in my life and I love to take the auditory art and interpret it in a visual way.  Quite often as I listen to music I will also "see" it in images and I am becoming more intentional in carving out the time to create the works that come to mind - even if it's simply a quick sketch.  The more I surrender to these ideas the more freedom I feel - it's one way for me run wildly in the direction of the person God created me to be.

"Run Wild"
(For King and Country feat. Andy Mineo)

Are the walls to lock you in or to keep others away
And if the doors were to be opened would you leave or would you stay
The comfort of your misery you cherish dearly, you cherish dearly
And you haven't started dreaming ‘cause you’re still fast asleep, you’re fast asleep

But don't you want to
Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me

You’re a lion full of power who forgot how to roar
You’re an eagle full of beauty but you can’t seem to soar
Will you return to the garden where we were first made whole
Will you turn to the one who can liberate your soul

But don't you want to
Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me
Run wild, live free
Love strong

To every soul locked in a cage
In the prison of your past mistakes
No, there's no time left to waste
Yeah, you can make your great escape
We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild

Run forest, all depends what direction
Some people run from fear, some from their own reflection
Some people run their mouth, some people run their house
Ruling with the heart of a tyrant
Some people run their block, bust shot with a 4-4-5 and
That’s the environment, how we were raised
Living like lions but trapped in a cage
Back to a mine gold day with the blood of a king but the heart of a slave
Don’t you wanna run

We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We’re made to run wild, run wild, run wild

If your soul’s locked in a cage
You can make a great escape
We’re made to run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me
