Title: To the wild country
Artist: John Denver
Composer: John Denver
--------------------------------------------------

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

And 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 forest
I�ll find peace there
To the wild country
where I belong
Oh, I know some times I worry
on worldly ways and means
And I can see
the future killing me

On a misbegotten highway
of prophecies 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 forest
I�ll find peace there
To the wild country
I belong
To the wild country
where I belong
