WILDCHILD
You were young enough to think I was invincible
And brave enough
To think that you were too
You were on the rooftop
Singing all your favorite songs
Making up the words
And I was so amazed by you
Oh, my wildchild you were born
You hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while
But I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wildchild, ooh, wildchild
You were learning how to skate
In empty swimming pools
And laughing till the neighbors called the cops
You were always getting up to something
Never changed that tune you hummed
And everybody knew that song
They just grew up and forgot
Wildchild you were born
You hit the ground running
I haven't seen you in a while
But I always saw this coming
Don't let a cruel world take your light away
Just promise me you're gonna stay
Wildchild
Say you're gonna stay, young
(Don’t let ‘em steal your peace)
Say you're gonna stay free
(Don’t let ‘em steal your peace)
Looking at you, looking at me
Say I'm always gonna be
My wild, wild, wildchild
Are you having fun, Alex?
He's a tough kid
You're a tough kid, you know that?
NIÑO LIBRE
Pensaba que yo era invencible
Y lo suficientemente valiente
Para pensar que tú también lo eras
Estabas en la azotea
Cantando todas tus canciones favoritas
Inventando la letra
Y yo estaba tan asombrado contigo
Oh, mi niño libre, así naciste
Empezaste a correr apenas tocaste el suelo
Hace tiempo que no te veo
Pero siempre vi que esto iba a pasar
No dejes que un mundo cruel te quite tu brillo
Solo prométeme que te vas a quedar
Un niño libre, uh, niño libre
Aprendías a andar en patineta
En albercas vacías
Y te reías hasta que los vecinos llamaban a la policía
Siempre estabas tramando algo
Nunca cambiaste esa melodía que tarareabas
Y todo el mundo conocía esa canción
Es solo alguien a quien nunca pude alcanzar
Niño libre, así naciste
Empezaste a correr apenas tocaste el suelo
Hace tiempo que no te veo
Pero siempre vi que esto iba a pasar
No dejes que un mundo cruel te quite tu brillo
Solo prométeme que te vas a quedar
Niño libre
Di que te vas a quedar, sí
Di que te vas a quedar libre
Mirándote a ti, mirándome a mí
Podríamos ser lo que quisiéramos ser
Mi niño, niño, niño libre
