For a moment you could feel, like you never felt before
In your mind you set fire to all the billboards
Til the cars disappear and it's just you on a horse
And something inside you says you're finally ready, Baby

The panic in your chest
Is the call of the wild
It's the song from oblivion
It's the end of denial
Now you're calling your doctor
Cuz you're crying like a child
But something inside you says you're finally ready

The moment you realize you're made out of earth
Is the moment you feel your heart start to give birth
Now you're saying "I love you, and where does it hurt?"
And something inside you says you're finally ready, Baby

It's the pissed-off rantings when there shouldn't have been a word
All your broken pieces are a buffalo herd
The moment you surrender you turn into a birds
And then something inside you says you're finally ready

You gotta set down the baggage you picked up as a kid
You know you're only good as the sins you forgive
Gotta give yourself grace for the way that you lived
And something inside you says you're finally ready, Baby

This is the call of the wild
This is the Song from Oblivion
You can just make out the words as the spirits are singing them:
"Children, we love you, now go make this right again"

It's the smell of the campfire, the beat of the drummer
You look in the mirror, and see your great grandmother
All of the ancestors under the streets
Lift up their song singing "You're finally ready, Baby"
