The wild ones
Lost but have been found ones
In rhythm with grace ones
Bold and unashamed ones
Fierce and unafraid ones
Rising to take their place ones
Dancing out the grave ones
This is for the wild ones, wild ones

Bridge
This is the dance of the wild and free
there is no limit, no boundaries
It's holy ground
Breathe it in and make it count
There are Angels all around
The light has come you've got that fire
It's in your soul so rise up higher
The time is now
Like a lion let it it out
And surrender to the sound

Meaning & Inspiration
Beckah Shae's song "Wild & Free," accompanied by its official music video released on July 5, 2024, presents a vibrant anthem of liberation and spiritual identity. The core of the song, highlighted in the repeated chorus, introduces a "dance of the wild & free," extending an invitation for "every tribe" to participate in this rhythmic expression of freedom. This central metaphor of dance signifies movement, life, and unity, suggesting a collective celebration of a transformed state.
The verses delve into the characteristics of these "wild ones." They are described as those who were "lost but have been found," indicating a journey from a state of separation or confusion to one of belonging. They are "in rhythm with grace," suggesting a harmonious alignment with divine favor or spiritual flow. The description continues with traits like being "bold and unashamed," "fierce and unafraid," and "rising to take their place," portraying individuals empowered and confident in their newfound identity. The powerful imagery of "dancing out the grave ones" speaks to overcoming death, despair, or limitations, symbolizing resurrection or radical transformation and release from past burdens.
The pre-chorus repeats the phrases "Iye Yahweh Iye Yeshua Iye," which are devotional calls. "Yahweh" is a name for God, and "Yeshua" is the Hebrew name for Jesus. These repeated invocations ground the song's themes of freedom and identity within a spiritual context, attributing the source of this wildness and freedom to a divine connection. The repetition emphasizes worship and acknowledgement of this source.
The bridge expands on the nature of this "dance of the wild and free," declaring there is "no limit, no boundaries." This speaks to an unconstrained life, unbound by fear, societal expectations, or past failures. The declaration that "It's holy ground" transforms the space of this dance, implying a sacred presence and reverence. The lyrics encourage full participation ("Breathe it in and make it count") and highlight the awareness of a spiritual atmosphere ("There are Angels all around"). The presence of divine light and inherent strength ("The light has come you've got that fire, It's in your soul so rise up higher") further empower the listener, urging them to embrace their potential. The call to action, "The time is now, Like a lion let it it out," signifies courage, strength, and the release of latent power or voice. The ultimate instruction, "And surrender to the sound," suggests that this freedom and power are accessed not through striving, but through yielding to a higher influence or divine rhythm. This surrender is paradoxical, leading not to constraint but to true, uninhibited expression.
The song's message resonates with scriptural themes of redemption, transformation, boldness in faith, and the power found in spiritual connection and surrender. The concept of the lost being found echoes parables like those in Luke 15. Freedom from bondage and the grave finds parallels in Romans 6 and John 8:36, stating that when the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. The call to be bold and unafraid aligns with passages like Philippians 4:13 and 2 Timothy 1:7. The reference to holy ground recalls Exodus 3:5, and the presence of angels is mentioned throughout scripture, such as in Hebrews 1:14. The imagery of light is a common biblical metaphor for truth, life, and divine presence (John 8:12), while fire often symbolizes the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:3-4). The lion can represent strength and boldness, as seen in Proverbs 28:1, and is also a messianic symbol in Revelation 5:5. The theme of surrender leading to transformation is central to biblical calls for yielding to God's will (Romans 12:1-2). "Wild & Free" thus serves as an inspirational declaration of identity and empowerment for those who find their freedom and strength in a spiritual surrender, inviting all to join in this liberated celebration.
