About the Song

Into the Wild

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

VERSE 1

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
