Lyrics
Verse 1
I don't really care, take it all away
A hundred thousand times, You've been more than faithful
Yeah, if money's all I got, then it's all in vain
Any given day, I just wanna praise You
Pre-Chorus
Don't misunderstand why I raise my hands (Hands)
Every circumstance 'cause wit' You I never lose
Go-got me castin' all my cares
Hangin' out the window like yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus
'Cause Your love so deep, runnin' over
(All of the time, time, all of the time, time, time)
Make it hard for me to keep my composure
Feelin' so wild and free, yeah
I'ma be loud and proud no matter who's around
'Cause You're so alive in me, yeah
Oh, Your blessings keep me runnin' over
All of the time, my God is good all of the time, yeah, yeah
Verse 2
Overflow in my life, Lord reign
I can't believe all the times
You made a way for me, I can't lie, nah, nah, nah
Yeah, but I was made for that
Didn't believe, I had to pray for that
Open my phone and scroll
I'm seein' the world, the struggles I know
I counted on God to carry the load
Said "Rain on my spirit, I'm ready to grow"
And now I'm here (Shee), showin' the world and my peers (Yeah)
What happens when God appears (Hey)
I promise the Lord is near
Pre-Chorus
I just want to praise You
Don't misunderstand why I raise my hands (Hands)
Every circumstance 'cause wit' You I never lose
Go-got me castin' all my cares
Hangin' out the window like yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus
'Cause Your love so deep, runnin' over
(All of the time, time, all of the time, time, time)
Make it hard for me to keep my composure
Feelin' so wild and free, yeah
I'ma be loud and proud no matter who's around
'Cause You're so alive in me, yeah
Oh, Your blessings keep me runnin' over
All of the time, my God is good all of the time, yeah, yeah

Meaning & Inspiration
Wild & Free is an upbeat praise song about the freedom of worshiping without holding back. The first verse says that the singer does not care about losing everything because God has been more than faithful a hundred thousand times, and that if money is all there is, it is empty, so any given day is a day to praise Him. The pre-chorus explains why the hands are raised and cares are cast away, and the chorus says that His deep love is running over, makes it hard to stay composed, and leaves the singer feeling wild and free, loud and proud.
The second verse looks at the struggles seen in the world and the decision to rely on God to carry the load, with a prayer for rain on the spirit and the promise that the Lord is near. The themes follow Psalm 23:5, John 8:36 and Psalm 100:5. The rhythmic delivery and repeated hook give the song a joyful, high-energy tone.
