Lyrics

You had your (G)maps drawn.

You had oth er plans to hang your (Em7)hopes on.

Ev ’ry road they led you down felt (C)so wrong,

so you found an oth er way.

You’ve got a (G)big heart.

The way you see the world, it got you (Em7)this far.

You might have some bruis es and a (C)few scars,

but you know you’re gon na be o (G)kay.

And e ven though you’re (Am)scared, you’re strong er than you (C)know.

If you’re (C)lost out where the lights are blind ing, (Em)caught and all the stars are hid ing, (D)that’s when some thing wild calls you (Em)home, home.

If you (C)face the fear that keeps you fro zen, (Em)chase the sky in to the o cean, (D)that’s when some thing wild calls you (Em)home, home.

Whoa, (C)oh,

(G)oh,

(D)oh,

(Em)home, home.

Whoa, (C)oh,

(G)oh,

(D)oh,

(Em)home, home.

Some times the (G)past can The make the ground be neath you feel like (Em7)quick sand.

You don’t have to wor ry, reach for (C)my hand.

Yeah, I know you’re gon na be o (G)kay.

And e ven though you’re (Am)scared, you’re strong er than you (C)know.

If you’re (C)lost out where the lights are blind ing, (Em)caught and all the stars are hid ing, (D)that’s when some thing wild calls you (Em)home, home.

If you (C)face the fear that keeps you fro zen, (Em)chase the sky in to the o cean, (D)that’s when some thing wild calls you (Em)home, home.

Whoa, (C)oh,

(G)oh,

Some times the (Em)home, home.

Calls you home.

Calls you (G)home.

Calls you (Em)home.

Calls you (G)home.

If you’re (C)lost out where the lights are blind ing,

home.

If you’re (Em)home, home.

Something Wild by Lindsey Stirling — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Something Wild by Lindsey Stirling in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 106 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
