John Denver "To The Wild Country" |
There are times I fear I lose myself, I don't know who I am I get caught up in the struggle and the strain With my back against a stone wall, my finger in the dam I'm losing strength and going down again When I take a look around me, my eyes can't find the sun There's nothing wild as far as I can see Then my heart turns to Alaska, and freedom on the run I can hear her spirit calling me To the mountains I can rest there, to the rivers I will be strong, To the forests I'll find peace there, to the wild country where I belong Oh I know sometimes I worry on worldly ways and means And I can see the future killing me On a misbegotten highway of prohesies and dreams A road to nowhere and eternity And I know it's just changes, yes and mankind marching on I know we can't live in yesterday But compared to what we're losing and what it means to me I'd give my life and throw the rest away To the mountains I can rest there, to the rivers I will be strong, to the forests I'll find peace there, to the wild country Where I belong To the wild country Where I belong Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
