I'll eat you up into something new You'll say last night in my room A forest grew and grew
Until the walls were green And from the ceiling fell vines And you lay there wishing your world was mine
You jumped into a boat and sailed out very far For weeks and years until you came to where the wild things are
And they roar, and they roll, and they claw with their terrible eyes Be still you will say and they'll fall Cause you're the wildest of all
There's a wild thing inside of our souls And a sense of home from young to old Inside of each of us there is a hidden child All you have to do is learn to be wild
And they roar, and they roll, and they claw with their terrible eyes Be still you will say and they'll fall I am the sun I will rise and I'll set But you're the brightest thing I've ever met
