Lyrics: Untamed

I walked through fire; I came out the other side. I chased desire. I made sure I got what’s mine. And, I continue to believe that I am the one for me. And, because I’m mine, I walk the line.

...

I hit rock bottom; it felt like a brand new start. I’m not the problem; sometimes things fall apart. And, I continue to believe the best people are free. And, it took some time, but I’m finally fine.

'Cause we’re adventurers and heartbreak’s our map. A final destination we lack. We stopped asking directions to places they’ve never been. And, to be loved, we need to be known. We'll finally find our way back home. And, through the joy and pain that our lives bring, we can do hard things.

...

Yeah, we can do hard things.
