Josh Ritter Wild Ways Lyrics

Never been so lost, didn't have a home
Though it tried my heart could not pay the cost for a life on it's own
I hadn't hit bottom, baby I was still falling
'Til I saw the sun on your face, I heard my higher calling

I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling

Considered the lilies, the spiritual torments
I looked into crystal balls, up into infinite orbits
Barefoot over coals, deserts by crawling
But all that it took was one look, I heard my higher calling

I give all my hours
I give all my days
I give everything I have to your wild ways I give all my nights
I give all my days
I give everything I have to your wild ways

A poet once told me, I was a drop in the ocean
But also the ocean was me, there was no separation
You're part of me baby, c'mon honey climb in
Look into my eyes see your mirror and my higher calling

I give all my hours
I give all my days
I give everything I have to your wild ways
I give all my nights
I give all my days
I give everything I have to your wild ways

I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
