I saw you in a cage, you sat all alone.
You saw that I’d built a cage of my own
We set out with hope but no plan
You were Robin, to my fragile Batman

We took no prisoners,
Outward or homeward bound
Was it me who rescued you,
Or was it the other way around

I remember the nights when we sat in my room
I’d light up a jay while you howled at the moon
Watchin’ a comet movin’ close to the sun
whispering, you’ll never have to run

We took no prisoners,
Outward or homeward bound
Was it me who rescued you,
Or was it the other way around

When the night came, we walked in the park
A street light exploded, you were scared by the spark
You flashed across that field in your highest gear
Over the ridge I watched you disappear

Oooh, Oooh . . . Oooh, Oooh . . . Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

I called your name, oh why did you break free
Could it be that easy to forget about me
Was it really just fear that made you run
Or was it the call of the wild, saying come on, come on

Call of the Wild is the third single off our album Book of Life. The song was originally written by Steven Semeraro and is inspired by the classic Thorton Wilder novel The Call of the Wild and all the dog-person love stories you’ve ever know. Ben Moore plays the Hammond B3, Ted Stern adds the fiddle; and Lilian LeFranc sings the amazing bridge.
