About the Song
Josh Baldwin’s song “Into The Wild” is from his solo album Evidence, his second release with Bethel Music, following the 2017 release of The War Is Over. “Into The Wild” was written to remind us of the importance to dream like a child. Josh’s hope is that listeners will be reminded to trust the Father with our lives and follow His heart.
It's time to dream like a child again.

Publishing & Lyrics
There is a calling
You’ve placed upon me
I’ve felt it all my life
VERSE 2
Step out with both feet
Walk on the water
Leave my past behind
PRE CHORUS 1
I wanna follow, follow Your heart
In the face of the unknown
I wanna trust You, trust who You are
When I let go, I’m halfway home
CHORUS
Into the wild, oh
It’s time to dream like a child again
Into the wild, oh
Letting go is where life begins
VERSE 3
We're not so different
We're all just children
Under weathered skin
VERSE 4
Forever searching
We’re on a journey
Back to innocence
PRE CHORUS 2
So I will follow, follow Your heart
In the face of the unknown
I will trust You, trust who You are
When I let go, I’m halfway home
BRIDGE
Yeah I can see it now, see it now
Heaven is all around, all around
Yeah I can see it now, see it now
Heaven is all around
PRE CHORUS 3
As I follow, follow Your heart
There’s no fear of the unknown
So I trust You, trust who You are
As I let go, I’m finally home
