Lyrics
Are you singing
Cause I love your melodies
Are you dancing
Wrapping your arms around me
Are you laughing
Cause I like to make you smile
Is it just a whisper
Cause that tends to be your style
Are you screaming
This love with you it can be kinda wild
So come and change my focus
I don't notice where you're going near enough
Come and change my focus
Help us know what you've been doing over us
So come and change my focus
I don't notice where you're going near enough
Come and change my focus
Help us know what you've been doing over us
Are you moving
Like the wind blows through the trees
Maybe all you're asking
Is just to slow it down and breathe
I've been chasing a something I can't see
When I keep waiting, all this time you've been here right beside me
So come and change my focus
I don't notice where you're going near enough
Come and change my focus
Help us know what you've been doing over us
So come and change my focus
I don't notice where you're going near enough
Come and change my focus
Help us know what you've been doing over us
Are you calling me outta my mind
Outta my mind
Now the roof's off
We expand like desire, deep and we're wired
Are you calling me outta my mind
Outta my mind
Your love, Your love is
Kinda wild
So come and change my focus
I don't notice where you're going near enough
Come and change my focus
Help us know what you've been doing over us
So come and change my focus
I don't notice where you're going near enough
Come and change my focus
Help us know what you've been doing over us

Meaning & Inspiration
“Kinda Wild” portrays attentiveness to God as a needed change of focus. Its questions imagine divine presence through melody, movement, laughter, a whisper, and wind through trees. That range allows the song to hold together quiet awareness and overwhelming love without reducing God’s activity to a single kind of experience.
The repeated request to notice where God is moving admits spiritual distraction. The singer has been chasing something unseen while overlooking the presence already near at hand, so slowing down becomes an act of attention rather than passivity. Images of wind and whisper may recall biblical accounts of the Spirit’s mysterious movement and God’s quiet voice, though the lyrics remain conversational rather than explanatory. By the bridge, the call beyond ordinary thought and the image of a roof opening convey freedom and expansion. The song ultimately presents divine love as both intimate and untamed, inviting renewed awareness of what God has been doing nearby.
